The Cuban young male owner of two mental arithmetic Guiness records, Yusnier Viera Romero, traveled to Germany on Friday to attend the second world cup of this subject.
The event will take place in Giessen city November 2-5 and be attended by 40 world guests, while the Cuban and a Peruvian are the first Latin Americans to participate in such a contest.
The 24 year-old Viera Romero is computer science graduate and works as arithmetic professor in Havana University.
The Guiness records recently introduced were seeking for dates of the calendar, a 19.8 second search breaking the previous record of 24.96 seconds and another for the best quantity of correct answers in a minute.
The well-known Cuban mental calculator told AIN he has systematically trained for this competition and he will do his best to boost Cuba's reputation.
