A 6-year-old boy named Dash was asked a simple math question during class test this week, and his answer has gone viral because it’s so dumb/hilarious. But is it actually so dumb, that really it’s undercover genius?

Here’s the question along with Dash’s answer, which his proud mum shared onto Reddit alongside the caption “This is why my kid is going places”:

I think it’s safe to say that Dash isn’t the cleverest kid in class, but on this evidence he’s definitely the one with the most potential. I mean talk about thinking out of the box and standing out with your answer.

You can guarantee every single other kid in that classroom showed their working out like a bunch of braindead sheep. Not Dash though — he wrote down what he was literally thinking and actually he was 100% right. Not to mention it’s always a good thing if you can make your teacher/ the whole Internet laugh.

So yeah, I agree with Dash’s mum — this kid’s going places. But if you think Dash is smart, check out this incredibly wise poem written by an 8th grade student.
