Was anyone gonna tell me we found who Cleo was??? The integration genius on math stack exchange from 10 years ago?
TLDR it was a professor from Uzbekistan named Viktor Reshetnikov who did it because he wanted people to be more interested in the niche problems people would post on there. Cleo wasn’t even his only account, he was doing multiple people
additional detail - he picked very tricky problems where he had a good guess for the answer but was really struggling to prove it. he would post the problem on an alt, then instapost what he thought was the answer as Cleo, and then hope that he could bait other people into doing the work to verify step by step that his solution was correct. and it worked a bunch of times!
previously he had just posted "hey i think this is the solution to this complex integral but i want help proving it" and then got zero interaction
