    The authors prove the last remaining case of the original 13 Ramanujan-type supercongruence conjectures due to \textit{L. Van Hamme} from 1997 [Lect. Notes Pure Appl. Math. 192, 223--236 (1997; Zbl 0895.11051)]: Let \(p\) be an odd prime. Then \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}} \frac{(\tfrac12)_n^3}{n!^3} (42n+5)\frac 1{64^n} \equiv 5p(-1)^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\pmod{p^4}. \tag{\text{Entry\;K.2}} \] The proof utilizes classical congruences and a WZ pair due to Guillera. Some future directions concerning this type of supercongruence are mentioned.
