The DM42 is not able to calculate 42.. ;-)

Now that the "Numberphile" YT channel has revealed the answer to the life, the universe and everything:

I had to check it with my DM42. Well, it cannot calculate it's own self

WP43 can calculate 42

WP43 can calculate 42

Yes WP43S can!

But DM42 can calculate 43 12^3 + 8^3 + (-13)^3

You can simplify the example for the testSuite for 43 (2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3), but I think for 41 there is no solution.

It seems proven that there is no solution for 41

WP43* does also work the new non-trivial solution for 3 as well...

It's probably possible to calculate this on the dm42 you'd just have to write an arbitrary precision program, then calculate it.

Assuming the problem is related to precision.

Yes, it is related to precision. WP43S allows for integers with 1000 digits.

Jaymos,

How can we transform a DM42 in a WP43 ?
