Answer:

Sum of cubes problem

Explanation:

The equation x3+y3+z3=k is sum of cubes problem. While seemingly straightforward, the equation becomes exponentially difficult to solve when framed as a "Diophantine equation" a problem that stipulates that, for any value of k, the values for x, y, and z must each be whole numbers.
