Problem 42829. Number construction III
Given a positive integer, n, return a, b and c, such that
1. n = a^1.5+b^2.5+c^3.5
2. a, b and c are all positive integers greater than 1
If a solution does not exist, set all three output variables to zero.
Example 1:
n = 168
a = 4
b = 4
c = 4
Example 2:
n = 100
a = 0
b = 0
c = 0

Could you check test case 4? It seems that for n = 314159, integers a, b, c > 1 do not exist, and the answer should be 0's...

You are both correct. Too much copying and pasting... Apologies. Issue fixed.
