Shakuntala Devi
Shakuntala Devi was an Indian mental calculator, astrologer, and writer, popularly known as the "Human Computer". Her talent earned her a place in the 1982 edition of The Guinness Book of World Records. However, the certificate for the record was given posthumously on 30 July 2020, despite Devi achieving her world record on 18 June 1980 at Imperial College, London. Devi was a precocious child, and she demonstrated her arithmetic abilities at the University of Mysore without any formal education.

Big news! (And not really my area, but yes, I would rank this as bigger than the unit distance counterexample. Maybe not bigger than a proof of unit distance would have been, but in terms of constructions, this is big.) https://t.co/VDRti1HZ6Z— Thomas Bloom (@thomasfbloom) August 1, 2026
