How many other people here just used a calculator for this? *shuns pencil and paper method, and pencils in general. pens are ok, though*

A note to other people who have you use their computer's calculator ( since mine didn't seem to have a square root function ), x ^ .5 is the square root of x and x ^ ( 1 / 3 ) is the cube root.

Fun and not as easy as the previous ones. Took me a quick Java program to solve.


I think us programmers are going to have this one all to ourselves, unless some moron goes and posts the answer. :D


There is. But it's in some forum not on the Neopets site. .___.

And actually, while I could have written a program to solve this one, I sort of did it by trial and error. You can do it pretty quickly, too, that way. At least, if you know some properties of squares and cubes. (Or maybe not even; the pattern I took was intuitive.)

Thing that I'm not sure about is this:

Can a perfect square be a perfect cube?
Anyone who wrote a program let me know about the answer to that.

Yes, that is possible. Take 729, for example- it's 27^2, or 9^3. None of the statements are mutually exclusive (apart from the adds to 43 part with the wrong statement, of course).
