The sum of three cubes problem for the number 33 has been solved using advanced computational methods, specifically by a planetary supercomputer. This breakthrough adds to the recent resolution of the same problem for the number 42, which is famously associated with the meaning of life in popular culture. The findings highlight the capabilities of modern computational power in tackling complex mathematical challenges. The solutions for both numbers demonstrate significant progress in number theory and computational mathematics. This development continues to spark interest in the mathematical community regarding the properties of cube sums.

Additionally, the number 42 was solved just a little bit later.
It's already mentioned in the article you refer to as an Editor's Note.

So a planetary supercomputer solved the problem of the number 42, finally giving meaning to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
