Mathematician solves puzzle that's baffled experts for 64 YEARS


Until now, mathematicians have struggled to find solutions for just two numbers under 100 - 33 and 42. Now, Dr Andrew Booker, a mathematician at the University of Bristol, has revealed a solution for one of these numbers. (Image: University of Bristol)His solution is: 33 = (8,866,128,975,287,528)³ + (–8,778,405,442,862,239)³ + (–2,736,111,468,807,040)³.Dr Booker discovered this solution using complex computer search, which took several weeks. He said: “I had a pretty good guess that I’d find something for one of the numbers below 1000. “We don’t know if the remaining numbers have infinitely many solutions, or how frequent those solutions are.
