Shakuntala Devi: Arithmetic Abilities and Fame
In 1950, Shakuntala Devi toured Europe to demonstrate her arithmetic skills. In 1976, she gave another performance in New York. In the year 1988, Shakuntala Devi visited professor Arthur Jensen in the US to get her abilities tested. Arthur Jensen was a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 1990, in an academic journal, Jenson published his findings of Shakuntala Devi. He reported that calculations like cube root of 61,629,875 and the seventh root of 170,859,375 were given to her to solve the problem which she solved before Jensen could copy them down in his notebook.
