                          Monday, May 18, 2015

  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Noah Masih, a 6th grader from Clearwater, Minnesota. Noah is a national 
champion, having recently won the National Number Knockout.
  The National Number Knockout is a math competition for students ages 
9-14, and competitors play to improve their calculating speed. The 
competition involves a board of 36 numbers and use of dice to create an 
additional variable. Noah beat out 15 other finalists to claim the 
title.
  I am always awestruck by those who find their passion in numbers. 
Noah's feat is nothing short of impressive, and is a testament to a 
fantastic homeschooling program.
  I know I speak for the 6th District when I say we are so proud of 
Noah and his accomplishments, and I look forward with eager 
anticipation to seeing what the future holds for this bright young 
scholar.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this body join me in congratulating Noah 
Masih on his success in mathematics.
