14-year-old Indian boy breaks 6 world records in one day

A 14-year-old "human calculator" boy from India tested his mental arithmetic skills and broke six Guinness World Records in one day.

Aaryan Shukla, 14, from Maharashtra, set his first Guinness World Records record about a year ago, when he took the record for the fastest time to mentally add 50 five-digit numbers on the set of the Italian TV series Lo Sho Dei Record.

Shukla, who achieved this feat in a time of just 25.19 seconds, was invited to Dubai by Guinness World Records and now has six more titles to his name.


In one day, Shukla broke the records for 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 mentally add 50 five-digit numbers (18.71 seconds), the fastest time to mentally divide a 20-digit number by a 10-digit number (5 minutes, 42 seconds), the fastest time to mentally multiply two five-digit numbers (51.69 seconds), and the fastest time to mentally multiply two eight-digit numbers (2 minutes, 35.41 seconds).

Shukla, dubbed by Guinness World Records as the "Human Calculator," said he practices math five to six hours a day to keep his mind sharp for competitions. /Telegraph/
