I love learning about old math problems! It's crazy that some number, like 1729, has this amazing property of not having repeated digits in any base up to four digits . But what's even more fascinating is how it connects to a story from history - the one about Hardy and Ramanujan taking a taxi ride in London . I mean, can you imagine being on a cab with two genius mathematicians discussing numbers all day? It just goes to show that math is everywhere, even in unexpected places!
I love this story about 1729 being a "taxicab number"! Its uniqueness is just mind-blowing . You know who I feel like giving a shoutout to? Those two mathematicians, Hardy and Ramanujan, for their awesome math skills and playful banter on that London taxi ride in 1928 . And can you imagine the conversations they must have had about numbers and puzzles over a cup of tea? ️ It's amazing how math has the power to connect people across time and space. Now, I wonder what kind of puzzles they would come up with if they were alive today
