Hyderabad: Fastest Human Calculator. Nowadays even if a little addition and subtraction have to be done, people immediately solve the problem by picking up the calculator, but you will be surprised to know that the title of the world’s fastest human calculator is named after a young Neelkanth Bhanu Prakash of the country. Neelkanth Bhanu Prakash hails from Hyderabad and has emerged as the fastest human calculator in the world.
Honored India in mathematics
Bhanu won a gold medal for India for the first time at the Mental Calculations World Championship under the recently held Mind Sports Olympiad in London. Bhanu Prakash, 21, is a graduate in Mathematics from St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi. Bhanu Prakash said that in order to be the world’s fastest human calculator, he made four world records and 50 Limca records.
They proudly say that my mind moves faster than a calculator. These records were earlier the names of great mathematicians such as Scott Flansberg and Shakuntala Devi. Breaking these records is a matter of national honor for me. Bhanu says that I have tried to make India a respectable place in the world of mathematics.
Has won many medals for India
Bhanu Prakash told me that I won the gold medal for India at the Mind Sports Olympiad held in London on 15 August. This is the first time an Indian has won a gold medal in this Olympiad. It is the most respected competition in the world in mental efficiency and mind games. It is held in London every year. This time the Mind Sports Olympiad was conducted virtually. This year, 30 participants up to the age of 57 participated.
It included participants from Britain, Germany, United Arab Emirates, France, Greece and Lebanon. The first Olympiad was held in 1998. Bhanu Prakash told that I got first place with a difference of 65 marks. The judges of the competition were so surprised by my pace that they asked me additional questions to confirm the accuracy.
