As dependency on calculators, cellphones, and computers increase, there are fewer people in the world who can boast amazing prowess in mental arithmetic. However, 8-year-old Mexican girl Zury Tlapanco Reyes is one of the few, and she’s got the trophy to show for it.
Zury’s skill in mental arithmetic even earned her a coveted title; the math whizz solved an extraordinary 70 mathematical problems in under 5 minutes with no electronic assistance at Aloha’s International Mental Arithmetic World Championship event in China in the summer of 2019.
