Bonus point for author's name.

Mother Nature, forget the bonus point though ;)

Question 462 - RESOLVED

Consider all of the numbers from 100 to 999.

There are exactly four numbers where the sum of the digits cubed equals the original number.

For example 153 = 1x1x1 + 5x5x5 + 3x3x3 = 1 + 125 + 27.

Another two of the numbers are 370 and 407.

What is the 4th?

___________
371: this can quickly been seen if you consider the fact that 370 is of this form and adding 1 to the number adds 1x1x1 to the sum.

Well, you were late for that one. :p

Look at my post right above yours.

My settings had pushed your answer to a new page and I had missed K's entirely.

Nice try! I just barely got in on time for a table scrap at the end.

And, to be correct, shouldn't it be: "My get up and go, just got up and left."? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Of course, it may be that we are all still in mourning over the excreable performance of the Sooners in the Orange Bowl. Thank God and Jason White is graduating. He just has not performed well under tough pressure, like a Bowl game! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
