I must be missing something. Why is this significant?
I believe it’s the lowest number that did not have a known solution for x^3 + y^3 + z^3. Plus, it’s 42.

/~drew is their personal page and they probably hid it all to put this little gimmick as their homepage. It's commented out for easy reversal once it sails its course.
Yeah but now, what? What was learned from this? Why did we look for a solution in the first place? How is it important that a number can be a sum of three cubes?
How was this computed? Just brute force ?
Why doesn't this evaluate in Excel? =(-80538738812075974)^3 + 80435758145817515^3 + 12602123297335631^3 Returns 1.09785E+36
