SUMMARY

The Sum of Three Cubes problem has been definitively solved for the number 33 using advanced computational techniques by a planetary supercomputer. This breakthrough follows the earlier resolution of the number 42, which is famously associated with the phrase "the meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything." The solutions for both numbers were documented in a Quanta Magazine article, highlighting significant advancements in number theory and computational mathematics.
