This is Álvaro Gamboa, the 'Figures and Letters' contestant who makes history for his quick calculations

Just four days ago, the young Mathematics student Álvaro Gamboa once again left Cifras y Letras viewers speechless by achieving, for the second time in a row, a five-figure total. A feat that, together with his speed and precision, has already made him one of the program's historic ones.

The young man from Madrid once again demonstrated that he was a genius for calculation, leaving his fellow contestants and Aitor Albizua, the show's presenter, speechless. A record-breaking contestant, who leaves those who have the opportunity to see his speed and precision in action stunned.

Today, he is probably the desired student of any mathematics teacher. However, Álvaro Gamboa can be seen at the Complutense University of Madrid, where he is in the second year of his degree.

His fame has skyrocketed since he became the youngest contestant on Cifras y Letras, a program of which he has always considered himself a follower and to which he has always wanted to attend as a participant. However, the minimum age to be able to attend the casting was 18 years old, so he had to wait a little longer than he would have liked.

The young student came of age, passed the entrance test with ease and, now, has become a favorite in the contest that is bringing so much joy to La2's prime time, from 9:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

"Álvaro is humble and young but it is seen that with each program he gains security and maturity," comments one of the program's viewers on social networks. "Impressive about this young contestant! It's a pleasure to see his extraordinary ability with figures," adds another.

At the moment, he has managed to defeat several of his opponents, and continues to increase his loot, day after day. In his first appearance, he managed to beat the Valencian Mauricio Sánchez and win 400 euros in prize money, even though he had no experience in television contests.

He has no shortage of enthusiasm, sympathy and charisma. Let them tell Aitor Albizua and David Calle, the expert who is amazed at the speed with which he does his calculations; There is no one who can resist this boy.

A phenomenon that promises a lot. The young man learns every day and everything indicates that he will remain with the faithful of the program for a long time.
