Mental Calculation World Cup 2012

When I started solving puzzles I was not even aware that there is World Puzzle Championship is held every year. I started solving Logical Puzzles i.e. World Puzzle Championship Style Puzzles in the year 2000 but get to first participate in World Puzzle Championship in the year 2004 in Croatia representing India.

My daughter Evanthe Gupta is now 6 and a half years old and thanks to her Brain O Brain weekly classes, she can do addition and subtraction in mind. It is really nice to know that there is Mental Calculation World Cup held once every two years. I was happy and surprised to see last world cup winner Priyanshi Somani was from India.

This year Mental Calculation World Cup 2012 will take place at Mathematikum, a science museum in Gießen, Germany.

Mental calculators from all over the world are invited to take part. If you are interested, please register until 1 June 2012.
