A 3D regular hexahedron solid (cube) passing through a 2D plane:
“Stubborn” Number 33
It is conjectured that n is a sum of 3 cubes if n is a number that is not congruent to 4 or 5 mod 9. The number 33 enters this category, but for 64 years no solutions emerged — that is, whether the equation 33 = x³ + y³ + z³ has an integer solution. Continue reading ““Stubborn” Number 33″
