(-80538738812075974)^3 + 80435758145817515^3 + 12602123297335631^3 = ?

Could that be the solution to the last integer under 100 not previously shown to be the sum of three cubes?

Mightn't it also be the last question about life, the universe and everything?

trichobezoar · 09-19-2019, 07:53 AM

Maybe the answer to life, the multiverse and everything is ¡07734 backwards?

Why do Wolfram Alpha and Microsoft Mathematics solve the problem above in no time, while my TI-84 Plus claims the answer is 1.14*10^37?

Did mathematics ever help Shakespeare?

Solitaire1 · 09-19-2019, 08:21 PM

Wasn't Shakespeare a great writer but not a mathematician?

pdurrant · 09-20-2019, 02:58 AM

Or was it the Earl of Oxford?

Didn't you have to be good at numbers to run a theatre?

pdurrant · 09-20-2019, 03:43 AM

Did Shakespeare ever actually run a theatre?

trichobezoar · 09-20-2019, 10:05 AM

Not Shakespearean, but it'll do?

NUMBERS

I like the generosity of numbers.
The way, for example,
they are willing to count
anything or anyone:
two pickles, one door to the room,
eight dancers dressed as swans.

I like the domesticity of addition—
add two cups of milk and stir—
the sense of plenty: six plums
on the ground, three more
falling from the tree.

And multiplication’s school
of fish times fish,
whose silver bodies breed
beneath the shadow
of a boat.

Even subtraction is never loss,
just addition somewhere else:
five sparrows take away two,
the two in someone else’s
garden now.

There’s an amplitude to long division,
as it opens Chinese take-out
box by paper box,
inside every folded cookie
a new fortune...

Can a parrot eat a carrot, standing on its head?

Solitaire1 · 09-20-2019, 01:08 PM

Why would a parrot eat a carrot?

What else rhymes with parrot?
