Re: 3 cubes that sum to 42
I tried to add one: >>> (-80538738812075975)**3 + 80435758145817515**3 + 12602123297335631**3 -19459465348319378856503251080373909 אורי u...@speedy.net On Sun, Sep 8, 2019 at 3:14 AM Terry Reedy wrote: > >>> (-80538738812075974)**3 + 80435758145817515**3 + > 12602123297335631**3 == 42 > True # Impressively quickly, in a blink of an eye. > > This is the last number < 100, not theoretically excluded, to be solved. > Compute power provided by CharityEngine.

When I saw the video, I tried it as well. Python's arbitrary-sized integer arithmetic is truly amazing! In fact, I ended up writing a tiny program to cube its arguments and report the sum. Took about 40 ms to run, no matter the size of the arguments, which tells me that the only cost is the fixed overhead. -- Michael F.
