Lucus Yeo, from Castle Hill Public School, has set a Guinness world record for completing a sudoku puzzle in one minute and 38 seconds. The 11-year old has beaten a 27-year-old American with a PhD in chemistry, who completed it in two minutes and 8 seconds.

The litle champion recalls completing his first puzzle years ago that took him 10 days. "So from then on I was just trying to beat 10 days, and then it became a few minutes. Now here I am," Sydney Morning Herald quoted Yeo as saying.

Bryan Mullan, principal of Castle Hill Public School, said that his talent "came out of the blue". "In terms of his personality, he comes across as quite disorganised in some ways," said Mullan."His desk's always all over the place. He doesn't come across as an organised person," he added.

As they say 'good things come in small packages'.
