There can be no person in this logic world, who does not recognize the person named: Srinivasa Ramanujan. Ramanujan was one of the best mathematicians, who devoted his life to mathematics and is known for his research regarding prime numbers, theta functions and master theorems. This puzzle is about one incidence that happened in his life.
Ramanujan was once ill and was admitted into a hospital. There was another mathematician Hardy came to visit him. Hardy knew the interest of Ramanujan in the numbers. So, he kept the taxi number he used to arrive hospital in mind. After seeing Ramanujan he asked about this number. Hardy said: "I find this taxi number #### somewhat dull. Is this a bad omen to travel in a taxi, which is numbered ####? Can you tell me anything special about this number?"
Though being on hospital bed, Ramanujan was quick in replying the special characteristic about this number. He said:
"This is the first natural number, which can be written as a sum of two cubes of natural numbers in two different ways."
Though Ramanujan told about the characteristic by seeing the number. I here, ask you to tell me the number with the help of the clue given by Ramanujan himself. Which can be the first number that can be written as sum of two cubes in two different ways."
This puzzle is a very interesting one and a very famous one. This number #### is also known the 'Hardy-Ramanujan Number".
With this, I leave you for brain-storming for finding this special number. All the best to you all Logic Lovers.
