You wouldn't believe i have complex mathematical skills. But I forget the simplest ones after doing groceries with mom or friends.

Anyway very few like her are born with such skills sad to hear but again glad she spent a good long life of 80.

She was good at calculations, there are many more who are equally good if not better.

It is a condition and is well documented. Educate yourself please (Savant syndrome aka Autism)

Productive?

I am sorry to say that 80% of central/state bureaucracy does zero productive work(if you consider file work as work) and takes home salary and pension. At least she was entertaining us like magician and she earned from that. She also encouraged the then youngsters to have interest in mathematics.

Coming from a humble family, Shakuntala Devi's father was a circus performer who did trapeze, tightrope and cannonball shows.

Productive?
