Hi there,
I just encountered an article about the oddities of number 42 and that
(-80538738812075974)^3 + 80435758145817515^3 + 12602123297335631^3 = 42.
I tried to verify in Kcalc, but got different result. I tried the same in
python, where I got the correct result of 42.
Try easier numbers, lets say 3^3 - 3^3 + 1, which should give 1, but kcalc
says 28.
Reproduce:
Press keys: 3, x^3, - , 3, x^3, +, 1, enter --> 28
Also (with intermediate results in square brackets):
2^3 [8] + 2^2 [4] +[8] 2 = 10 (should be 14).
2^3 [8] + 2^2 [4]+ 2^2 [4] + 2^2 [4] +[8] 1 = 9 (should be 21)
It seems like as if the result of x^2 and x^3 are ignored in consecutive
additions/substractions.
Kcalc version 18.12.3
Can anybody verify with other versions?
Regards
Alex
