Original title is more informative than the edited one here.

  I submitted under an approximation of the original title, and it was edited within seconds.

    There is too much "helpful" title modification of late. The original title itself fits within HN limits: "A 17-year-old teen refutes a mathematical conjecture proposed 40 years ago" The site's guidelines are clear[1] but increasingly ignored by some moderators: "...please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

      After several hours, the HN title has been modified again to match the original much more closely, from "Hannah Cairo has solved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture"[1] to "Hannah Cairo: 17-year-old teen refutes a math conjecture proposed 40 years ago".

    As the submitter, you can re-edit the title after submission (for some limited time period).
