    I don't get it.
    Shouldn't it come out as 42 or something?

    It's the smallest Lucas-Carmichael number, but I don't know why that would be significant. :confused:

    Can the OP come back and explain please?

    Somehow I think that's not it.

    Got it!

    This is the first result for a google image search for 399. Clever OP. Perhaps... too clever.

    Not buying it. :pac:

    Given an integral, it's usually quite easy to solve, but finding an integral which evaluates to a given number is often much harder.

    You would have had to find integer solutions for a^3 - b^3 = 1197 if you wanted to encode 399 into the integral. Not a trivial task. My guess is that the google images search fits nicely so you adopted it.

    Sorry if I got that arseways. :D

    Speak for yourself. As a maths geek, I'm distinctly lacking in #3. :(

    Take up tutoring or lecturing at 3rd level and #3 arrives in abundance :D

    Yeh I hear pizzas and other fast food containing excessivly high amounts of oestrogen can cause 3 to arrive in abundance too.
