42 is an answer to the question, what is the sum of three cubes?
https://aperiodical.com/2019/09/42-is-the-answer-to-the-question-what-is-80538738812075974³-8043575…

42 is the answer to the question “what is (-80538738812075974)³ + 80435758145817515³ + 12602123297335631³?”
We now know that the number 42 can be written as the sum of three cubes: \[ 42 = (-80538738812075974)^3 + 80435758145817515^3 + 12602123297335631^3 \] This computational breakthrough was achieved i…
