00:31A fascination with numbers that began at the age of three has earned Penang teenager Punya Mitra Kumaresan a place
00:38in the Malaysia Book of Records.
00:40The 14-year-old student of St. George's Girls' School memorised and recited 300 digits of pi in sequence,
00:49earning the title Most Pi Recited from Memory by a teenager on February 9th.
00:55I actually started this thing from Kids Got Talent Malaysia.
00:59My mum co-incidentally found out there was one competition in Kids Got Talent Malaysia last year.
01:06So at first I joined the audition.
01:08So during the audition, I did my alphabet in reverse which is from Z to A.
01:14So once I passed the audition, I feel like I must do something better and much more challenging.
01:23So I decided to do this 300 digits of pi so I memorized it and I recited it during the
01:31finals.
01:31So I managed to get the champion when I was in the finals.
01:37So since I got champion in Kids Got Talent Malaysia, we were there right there.
01:42We auditioned fast to America's Got Talent.
01:44After the Kids Got Talent Malaysia, I joined this one competition named Rising Stars Icon.
01:50So there I got first runner-up.
01:53I did the same thing 300 digits of pi.
01:56So after the Rising Stars Icon, I went for America's Got Talent audition.
02:01It was online.
02:04At the age of three years old, I noticed that she has some interest in the calculation.
02:09So without wasting any time, I immediately sent her to Pumwanda.
02:13So once she went to Pumwanda, I can see her talent in recognizing the numbers and the speed and accuracy
02:20and everything else.
02:21So after this next time, she'll be sitting for a complete exam and then she'll be going for SPF also.
02:27So during this time, I think she need to really focus on the exam.
02:31So after finishing her SPF, then she'll see how far it went, then I'll just give it to her where
02:38she wants to go, what she wants to study.
02:40So as a mother, I'll still keep on the impression.
02:45I feel really satisfied because I've managed to fulfill my young childhood dream which was getting the recognition.
02:54And I feel really proud.
02:56I honestly never expected this huge.
03:03I'm paying attention to my young father.
03:06It was amazing.
03:07And I love the job.
03:07I don't sexual yang extended, I'm a traveler.
03:08The robot because he's been the first seeing if you are, you guys have failed.
03:09I'm a girl girl because you don't know the biology of her.
03:09I'm voiture her.
03:09So I'm using that robot as a mother.
03:10I usually just 나 EPA vouler firm for her.
03:10But I still have to try to confirm things if you have this recording.
03:10I've removed my shoes.
