    Math question for 1 point
    First answer gets the point.


    There are only 4 numbers, not including 1, which are sums of the cubes of their digits. Name them.

        Very nice Parligod. I assume you googled it?

        153=1 cubed + 5 cubed +3 cubed
        370= 3 cubed +7 cubed + 0 cubed
        371= 3 cubed + 7 cubed + 1 cubed
        407= 4 cubed +0 cubed + 7 cubed

        Read it in a book last night and found it interesting.

        Point on its way.

            I would not think so unless they were Rain Man. Of course, that is why it was only worth a point. I'm guessing several would not understand the question as it is presented. Simply one of those "do you know" things.

              Does it count if I've already heard of these? Your talking about Narcissistic numbers and 153 is actually one of my favorite numbers.

                Nicely done. I was actually reading Hardy last night which mentioned it. Obviously judging by your post you are a pretty sharp cookie.
