complained to his colleague, the genius Ramanujan, that the number of the taxi he just took was really boring: 1729. Ramanujan disagreed, immediately recognizing that 1729 is the smallest integer that can be written as the sum of two positive cubes in two different ways: 1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103 After this story, we call the smallest integer that can be written as the sum of two positive cubes in n distinct ways the n-th taxicab number, T(n). So, T(1)=2 an
