Some game shows on TV these days.. so easy a kid could win them, right? Well actually, 11-year-old Kai, who has just won his 3rd sucessive round of Countdown may not be your usual contestant, having watched the show, from which he learned his alphabet and to count, from the age of two (seriously, what where his parents doing??).
Impressively, Kai beat the other final contestant, 49 year old Mr Franklin, 95 points to 61.
Though it seems that Kai is not the gameshow's youngest winner:
"In 1992, eight-year-old James Squires won, and in 2005, Tanmay Dixit won in two shows at the age of eight. In 2006, 14-year-old Conor Travers became the youngest series champion."
