A team led by Andrew Sutherland of MIT and Andrew Booker of Bristol University has solved the final piece of a famous $65$-year old math puzzle with an answer for the most elusive number of all: $42$.
The number $42$ is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”
Booker also wanted to know the answer to 42. That is, are there three cubes whose sum is $42$?
