:Hi Rdm, Thanks for the hint. Before I posted the Algol 68 sample, I saw your comment that we just need to inspect the powers of the prime factors but at the time I didn't realise what you meant and not being au-fait with J, couldn't read your code to find out. However after googling stuff about cubes I now realise what you meant. I shall reword that comment.
:Considering that 41^3 is greater than 65535, I wasn't going to attempt the task in a 16 bit language but I think I will now... thanks. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 16:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
::Hmm, it's just dawned on me that, despite obtaining the correct answer for the 50,000th term, the Wren solution is unsafe for n > 208063 as n^3 will then exceed 2^53 which is the maximum integer the language can safely deal with. I've changed it now so that it is safe. BTW I did intend the task to be simple but not deceptively so :) --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 17:55, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
