Calculator Boy: A 14-year-old teen set 6 world records in mathematics in just one day.

A young man from India performs calculations in his mind faster than most people can with a calculator.
14-летний математический гений установил 6 мировых рекордов за один день, став настоящим человеком-калькулятором.

At a recent event organized by the Guinness World Records in Dubai, 14-year-old Aaryan Shukla from India set six mental calculation records in a single day, as reported by Live Science.

According to the father of the "walking calculator," his son's remarkable mathematical abilities are not hereditary, as no one in their family displays anything similar.

Aaryan Shukla established the following records for mental calculations:

  • the fastest time to mentally add 100 four-digit numbers – 30.9 seconds;
  • the fastest time to mentally add 200 four-digit numbers – 1 minute 9.68 seconds;
  • the fastest time to add 50 five-digit numbers – 18.71 seconds;
  • the fastest time to multiply two sets of ten five-digit numbers – 51.69 seconds;
  • the fastest time to multiply two sets of ten eight-digit numbers – 2 minutes and 35.41 seconds;
  • the fastest time to divide a set of ten 20-digit numbers by a set of ten-digit numbers – 5 minutes and 42 seconds.

The human calculator computes numbers in his mind faster than most people can input digits into a calculator.

Shukla mentions that his unique abilities are linked to his active practice of yoga, which helps him maintain calmness and focus. The teenager also dedicates 5-6 hours daily to mathematics, while also making time for reading and video games.
