Oman Wires It's all about Oman
The team from the American British Academy (ABA) was led by Saaatvik Suryajit Korisepati, supported by Alex Freyer, Zoltan Sojitory and other pc students.
The team had planned to execute a five-bit adder which will be capable to add any quantity up to the sum of 63.
The prior globe record was a four-bit adder that could only add numbers up to 31.
With a lot more than six months of difficult perform and dedication, the team effectively developed a new globe record by producing the initial five-bit adder making use of dominoes. They utilized 15,000 dominoes to develop the circuit at Bank Muscat headquarters.
Commenting on this globe record, Saatvik mentioned, “This is a classic instance of perseverance and determination. The prior globe record was by an Australian mathematician and his team for a four-bit adder. We attempted for a new globe record with a five-bit adder. We could not succeed in the initial 3 attempts.
“We were not let down by failures. In fact, we learnt something from every attempt. We improved the design and the construction of the circuit which required critical thinking. On October 20, after eight hours of tireless efforts, we set the new world record for a 5-bit domino computer.”
Saatvik mentioned this would have in no way been achievable without having the help and encouragement from teachers and the Parent Teachers Association at ABA who supported the project. “We are extremely thankful to Bank Muscat management who allowed us to use their premises to attempt this world record.”
Commenting on what the team plans to do with the tens of thousands of dominoes lying in carton boxes, Saatvik mentioned, “Our team has decided to donate some of the dominoes to our elementary college to aid students find out some easy adders.
“A majority of these will be donated to charities that support schoolchildren who are less fortunate than us.”
