Aha! The old seconds per Leap Year query! And, I'm too late to boot! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Riddle:
This thing devours all
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers,
Gnaws iron, bites steel,
Grinds hard stones to meal,
Slays kings, ruins towns
And beats high mountains down.
Bonus point for author's name.

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.
