Tirupati: The present-day students have developed a phobia for mathematics. The situation is so bad that they are not able to remember even ten- digit numbers and are unable to do simple calculations without using pen or paper or gadgets like calculators.
In such an age, here is a person who can do all such calculations and much more without using any such gadgets. He is none other than Jayaprakash Reddy of Tirupati who has earned a place in Limca Book of records. He achieved this feat under the supervision of Suneel Kumar Reddy, the Director of Red Cherries school. Jayaprakash was able to remember all the 50 digits given to him, multiply them with 25 and tell their product correctly - all within 4min 15sec thus creating a new world record. He proved that any herculean task can be achieved easily if it is done with interest. Jayaprakash set this new world record in the presence of Red Cherries School director Suneel Kumar Reddy and S V University professors.
