Young man with brain fracture becomes human calculator!

Hyderabad, India: After suffering a brain fracture in a horrific accident in childhood, young Indians solve long math problems in the blink of an eye and for this reason they have been declared as a fast human calculator.

If you ask Neela Kantha Bhanu Prakash to multiply 869,463,853 by 73, what will be the answer?

Just 26 seconds later, he answered 63,470,861,269

This shows that Prakash solves long arithmetic questions in a jiffy and he has been named the world’s fastest human calculator in India. Bhanu Prakash said that the way they solve these problems is called ‘structural practice’. In it, a complex question is broken down into several parts and it is solved, but in the process, the answer to each question is kept in mind and the final answer is obtained by combining all of them. He also won a gold medal at the Mind Sports Olympiad in London this year.
