Boredom in the classroom has given birth to a technological miracle. A 15-year-old teenager named Ben Pasternak from Sydney has designed an app called 'Impossible Rush', which is described as a simple yet quite addictive game.

The app is selling like hot cakes with more than 300,000 downloads since its launch six weeks ago. The new iPhone game is topping the lists of apps beating Twitter and Tinder. The app was ranked at number 7th in Sweden, 16th in the United States and 18th in Australia, towering above Gmail, Google and Twitter in terms of number of downloads.

The game's idea was conceived by the young lad while sitting in a science classroom when he drifted away from his lesson and began to day dream, wherein he envisioned playing with falling balls. Just like other tech games, this is also a simple affair where the player needs to tap a spin square to match colors against balls falling from above. The frequency of the falling balls increases as the player proceeds in the game.

The child prodigy is reportedly showing all the signs of becoming the next Mark Zuckerberg. This latest game he designed is not seen as just a fluke. At the tender age of eight, the teenager got fascinated by Club Penguin and involved himself quite deeply in the social gaming site owned by Disney.

As revealed by his mother to Sydney Morning Herald, Pasternak is dedicated and passionate about technology and games. At the age of 14, he was the first customer in the whole world to buy an iPad Air. He owns a YouTube channel where he reviews Apple products as a hobby.

The boy is also working on another idea for an app named 'One', which aims to provide users access to every social media app, such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, in one platform. The app will put all the user's news feeds at one place. It will be launched by December.

Ben Pasternak has taken the help of another teenager, Austin Valleskey, who is based in Chicago. The two met via a Facebook group called 'High School Hackers'. As soon as he received the idea from Pasternak, he managed to code the app in just a few hours. It took a couple of days more for the boys to perfect the brain exercise game before contacting New York based social media marketer Carlos Fajardo to market their app. Their proposal was then met with approval as Fajardo promised them the success of the app.

The teenagers did not expected such a phenomenal success of their humble app and are now motivated and focused for their next project.
