Sum of Consecutive Cubes (Visual Proof)
The sum of the first n cubes is the square of the nth triangular number:
13 + 23 + 33 + 43 + 53 + . . . + n3 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + . . . + n)2.
Life, the Universe, and Maths
For years, mathematicians have worked to demonstrate that x3+y3+z3 = k, where k is defined as the numbers from 1 to 100. This theory is true in all cases except for an unproven exception: 42.
By 2016 and over a million hours of computation later, researchers of the UK’s Advanced Computing Research Center had its solution for 42.
