Aaryan Shukla, a 14-year-old from Maharashtra, India, just did the impossible. This math whiz, known as the “Human Calculator,” broke six Guinness World Records in a single day! Yes, you read that right. One day, six records, pure genius.
The Journey of a Record-Breaker
Aaryan’s journey to world records began about a year ago when he set his first Guinness title. He made history by mentally adding 50 five-digit numbers in just 25.19 seconds on an Italian TV show, Lo Sho Dei Record. That was just the beginning.
Recently, Guinness World Records invited him to Dubai, where he shattered six more records in one day. Here’s what he achieved:
- Fastest time to mentally add 100 four-digit numbers – 30.9 seconds
- Fastest time to mentally add 200 four-digit numbers – 1 minute, 9.68 seconds
- Fastest time to mentally add 50 five-digit numbers – 18.71 seconds
- Fastest time to mentally divide a 20-digit number by a ten-digit number – 5 minutes, 42 seconds
- Fastest time to mentally multiply two five-digit numbers – 51.69 seconds
- Fastest time to mentally multiply two eight-digit numbers – 2 minutes, 35.41 seconds
Aaryan’s Secret to Success
How does he do it? Five to six hours of math practice every day! Aaryan keeps his mind sharp with constant calculations and challenges himself to do better. His father admits the family is just as amazed as the rest of the world. “We are a normal family. Aaryan is a one-in-a-billion kind of person,” he said.
What’s Next?
With his talent, discipline, and passion, there’s no limit to what Aaryan can achieve. He’s already inspiring young minds worldwide, proving that math can be cool (and record-breaking!).
Watch out, world – the Human Calculator is just getting started!
