What do you do after solving the answer to life, the universe, and everything? If you're mathematicians Drew Sutherland and Andy Booker, you go for the harder problem. In 2019, Booker, at the ...

The problem of 42 -- at least as it relates to whether the number could be considered the sum of three cubes -- has finally been solved. The question of whether every number under 100 could be ...

Hot on the heels of the ground-breaking 'Sum-Of-Three-Cubes' solution for the number 33, a team led by the University of Bristol and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has solved the final ...

We all know that 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, thanks to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Now, we also know that it’s the sum of three cubes. For decades, scientists ...

Mathematicians have long worked on the problem of expressing all numbers up to 100 as the sum of three cubes. The solution for the last remaining number – 42 – has finally been found. Now 42, as ...

Just on the heels of finding three cubed numbers that sum to 42, scientists have passed another important milestone by finding three enormous cubes that sum to 3. After finding three-cubes solutions ...
