INDORE: Unlike scores of class X students who suffer from math phobia, for 16-year old Mayank Nema, complicated arithmetic sum is literally a child's play.
Mayank has set a world record for fastest calculation of solving 10 tasks of adding 10-digit 10 rows numbers in 2.2 minutes entering the Limca book of Records last year in June.
The child prodigy was in the city along with his mentor Kamlesh Nema.
Mayank is a class X student of Scholar's Academy school in a dusty Shujalpur town about 180 kms from Indore.
He has completed the two year programme of eight levels of Universal Concept Mental Arithmatic System (UCMAS) in 2009.
Nema brims with confidence as he says, "Brain has an immense capacity and this is (by which he solves sums) nothing."
Mayank broke the existing world record of Marc Jornet Sanz of Spain who had accomplished a similar task (of adding 10-digit 10 rows numbers) in 3 minutes 19.42 seconds.
In November 2010, Mayank had won the 16th UC MAS Abacus & Mental Arithmetic International competition where he had solved 198 arithmetic sums (out of 200) in stipulated eight minutes.
