A 14-year-old Indian boy, nicknamed "Calculator Man," has broken six world records in a single day, demonstrating his incredible arithmetic skills. The Guinness World Records website reported https://daryo.uz/k/2025/02/14/hindistonlik-14-yoshli-bola-bir-kunda-oltita-jahon-rekordini-ornatdi-video.

The Maharashtra schoolboy prodigy, Aaryan Shukla, set his first record a year ago when he managed to add 50 five-digit numbers in 25.19 seconds.

Since that day, the boy has been constantly engaged in mathematics and mental arithmetic. Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records invited him to Dubai to set new records. Now Aaryan has six more awards.

The boy added 100 four-digit numbers in his mind in 30.9 seconds, 200 four-digit numbers in 1 minute 9.68 seconds, and 50 five-digit numbers in 18.71 seconds.

It took Aaryan 5 minutes 42 seconds to divide a 20-digit number into a 10-digit number. It also took him 51.69 seconds and 2 minutes 35.41 seconds to multiply two five-digit numbers by two eight-digit numbers.

Aaryan trains five to six hours a day to sharpen his mind and further develop his unique ability. At the same time, he himself does not know where and why the ability to calculate multi-digit numbers at such a high speed came from:

“I can’t say exactly what is happening in my brain. This process occurs naturally for me. The calculation is so fast that you don’t have time to think at this time. My mind is only occupied with solving the example,” says the record holder.

Aaryan's father cannot explain the reason for his son's mathematical talent. Currently, Aaryan's parents monitor their son so that he does not get too stressed out due to his studies.

Despite the fact that daily arithmetic exercises outside of school require a lot of time and effort, Aaryan also finds time to relax. For example, he likes to meditate, read adventure and detective novels, play video games, play cricket and travel.
