London, Aug 29 (Calcutta Tube) A seven-year-old maths prodigy, who became the youngest Briton to gain the top grade in GCSE maths, now advises the government on the country’s finances, a media report said Sunday.
Oscar Selby, who last week got an A* at less than half the age at which most pupils take the exam, has demonstrated a new talent – advising the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the nation’s finances, Daily Mail reported on its website.
Oscar took a break from building sandcastles on holiday Saturday to urge George Osborne to cut taxpayer funding to the banks and ask for cash they have borrowed to be paid back.
Asked how he would tackle Britain’s biggest maths problem – the 170.8-billion-pound budget deficit – he advocated raising taxes and creating jobs.
