Left: Margaret Hamilton in 1969, standing next to the stack of Apollo Guidance Computer code she and her team wrote by hand; taller than she was.
Right: The same legend, decades later.

On 18 June 1980, at Imperial College London, Shakuntala Devi; the legendary Indian mental calculator; was given two randomly chosen 13-digit numbers:
7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779 = ?
In just 28 seconds, she correctly answered:18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730
This extraordinary feat earned her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest human computation.
In 1977, she had already stunned the world by extracting the 23rd root of a 201-digit number in just 50 seconds — an answer later verified by a UNIVAC computer.
