Default Where does the dead Human Computer go?

The New York Times offers consolation to all survivors of
mathematician Shakuntala Devi, who has passed through 83 years of
relative corporeality.

Among a legacy she has left cognizant facilities --

"In 1977, at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, she extracted
the 23rd root of a 201-digit number in 50 seconds, beating a Univac
computer, which took 62 seconds."

Three years later, she earned herself a spot in the Guinness Book of
World Records when she multiplied two 13-digit numbers
(7,686,369,774,870 and 2,465,099,745,779) *and* articulated the
solution (26-digits: 18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730) in just 28
seconds."

"Her father was a trapeze artist and lion tamer in a circus."

The Times in due observance wishes to express she "was also a
successful astrologer."
