When Hardy visited Ramanujan in the hospital, he remarked that he had just
been in a taxi having a license plate with a very uninteresting number,
1729. Ramanujan replied without hesitation that the number was most
interesting, being the smallest positive integer expressible as the sum
of two cubes in two different ways.
