The Ponmath era now has its own wall in the Hall of records. The contracts went live on Robinhood Chain on 1 October 2026, and the first share was accepted on 3 October at 22:18 WIB. One click on Verify this share and you can re-check it yourself.

192 = 4³ + 4³ + 4³ and 375 = 5³ + 5³ + 5³. Easy, until you ask for three cubes with no common factor. Nobody has found such a primitive solution for 192, 375 or 600. Sums of three cubes hide puzzles even where an answer exists.

Watch the swarm add up. The landing now shows the hunt's running estimate of candidates checked, counting up toward the next round milestone. Every share behind that number was re-checked on Robinhood Chain. ponmath.academy

Every record was an open number once. 33 waited until 2019. So did 42. Today 114 is the smallest open case below 1000. ponmath.academy/records

Three 17 digit numbers that cube to 42 took about 1.3 million CPU hours to find, and any laptop checks them in a blink. What other problems have that shape, brutal to find and trivial to verify? Reply with your favourite.

What /verify does. Your browser redoes the share rule from scratch, in exact whole numbers. Then the page asks the Hunt contract's checkShare view for its own verdict. Two independent checks of one share, side by side, and they have to agree.

Tutorial: start hunting in 60 seconds. Open ponmath.academy, pick 114, press Start, and submit the shares your browser finds. Robinhood Chain re-checks each one before it pays points. Same steps on a phone or a laptop.

New on the landing: a quiet strip under the hero that counts the swarm, with a bar to the next round milestone. The estimate says what it is: shares accepted on chain, times the survivors each share stands for, times the measured candidates per survivor.

One search, many browsers. No server hands out work and no tab waits for permission. Each browser picks its own slices of the band from 10^19 to 10^20, and Robinhood Chain is the only scorekeeper: it re-checks every share before a single point exists.

3 = 1³ + 1³ + 1³ = 4³ + 4³ + (−5)³ In 1953 Louis Mordell asked whether 3 had a third way. In 2019 Booker and Sutherland found it: 569936821221962380720³ + (−569936821113563493509)³ + (−472715493453327032)³ Hard to find. Easy to check.

New page: the Hall of records. Seven decades of sums of three cubes, from Mordell's 1953 question to 579 in 2021, engraved with the real triples. Press Check it and your browser cubes all nine, digit for digit. ponmath.academy/records

A survivor whose hash with your wallet starts with 25 zero bits is a share. The chain redoes every step, then mints 100 points. If Δ is ever a perfect square with d − r even, the finder claims it and the 114 vault pays out. The odds are long. ponmath.academy/learn

For each z: q = (114 − z³)/d and Δ = (4q − d²)/3. A solution needs Δ to be a perfect square. Nine cheap tests come first, remainders mod 64, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 and 31, and almost every Δ fails one. Only the survivors get a full square root.

Below 1000, every number that is not 4 or 5 mod 9 now has a known sum of three cubes. Except seven: 114, 390, 627, 633, 732, 921 and 975. Why has nobody found the three cubes for 114, and how does a swarm of browser tabs search for them? A thread.
