曾在数学Stack Exchange上以精妙解答而神秘示人的数学家Cleo,近日被证实为乌兹别克斯坦裔美国软件开发者弗拉基米尔·雷谢特尼科夫。1这位神秘账户从2013年11月至2015年12月间发布了39条答案,因能够准确解决复杂积分问题却从不展示求解过程而在数学社区引起广泛关注。1
身份揭露的过程始于网络调查。2023年晚期,Reddit用户evilscientist311对该账户进行了分析调查,而2025年1月,YouTuber Joe McCann发布了深入调查视频。1视频的观看者通过邮箱恢复信息发现了Cleo与雷谢特尼科夫的关联,最终促使真人现身。12025年2月8日,雷谢特尼科夫在其Stack Exchange资料中发布Base64编码消息正式确认了身份。1
雷谢特尼科夫表示创建Cleo人设是为了激发他人对数学问题的兴趣。1公开资料显示,他曾在Microsoft任职,并在塔什干担任过软件开发者,在乌兹别克斯坦国立大学学习理论物理。1
A decades-old puzzle in the mathematics community has finally been resolved. Between 2013 and 2015, an enigmatic user named Cleo posted 39 answers on Mathematics Stack Exchange, becoming renowned for providing precise solutions to complex integral problems while deliberately withholding working steps 1. This distinctive approach—offering correct answers without explanation—intrigued and frustrated the mathematical community for years.
In January 2025, YouTuber Joe McCann launched a video investigation into Cleo's true identity, sparking a collaborative effort among viewers to uncover the mystery 1. Through email recovery information analysis, investigators discovered a connection between the Cleo account and Vladimir Reshetnikov, an Uzbek-American software developer 1. Reshetnikov subsequently confirmed the revelation on February 8, 2025, by posting a Base64-encoded message in his Stack Exchange profile acknowledging his role as Cleo 1. According to the investigation, Reshetnikov created the Cleo persona to stimulate interest in mathematical problem-solving among others 1.
Reshetnikov's professional background includes software development work in Tashkent and a tenure at Microsoft 1. His academic foundation was established through studies in theoretical physics at the National University of Uzbekistan 1.
