In response, he said he couldn’t hear the question. “You’re gonna have to go louder…,” Trump said. However, when the reporter tried asking the same question again, Trump said, “I can’t understand a word he’s saying,” adding, “‘It’s the accent, it’s a little bit tough for me.” The “Human Calculator Kid” 14-year-old Aaryan Shukla, a maths prodigy from Maharashtra, captivated the audience setting the record for the “fastest time to mentally add 50 five-digit numbers”. He attempted the feat on the sets of the Italian TV series Lo Show Dei Record. According to GWR, the teen achieved not one but six records in just a day. He also revealed about his daily practice that helped him etch his name in the pages of Guinness World Records. “Daily practice is one of the important aspects to prepare for competitions, […] so I practise for about five or six hours daily,” Shukla said. “Sahaja Yoga meditation helps me to keep calm and focused,” he added. Besides reading, he “enjoys reading books, particularly adventure and mystery genres, playing video games and cricket.” Here’s a video of his feat: PM Modi also met Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and the world’s richest man Elon Musk.
