Problem Description
For hundreds of years Fermat's Last Theorem, which stated simply that for n > 2 there exist no integers a, b, c > 1 such that a^n = b^n + c^n, has remained elusively unproven. (A recent proof is believed to be correct, though it is still undergoing scrutiny.) It is possible, however, to find integers greater than 1 that satisfy the ``perfect cube'' equation a^3 = b^3 + c^3 + d^3 (e.g. a quick calculation will show that the equation 12^3 = 6^3 + 8^3 + 10^3 is indeed true). This problem requires that you write a program to find all sets of numbers {a, b, c, d} which satisfy this equation for a <= 200.
Output
The output should be listed as shown below, one perfect cube per line, in non-decreasing order of a (i.e. the lines should be sorted by their a values). The values of b, c, and d should also be listed in non-decreasing order on the line itself. There do exist several values of a which can be produced from multiple distinct sets of b, c, and d triples. In these cases, the triples with the smaller b values should be listed first.
The first part of the output is shown here:
Cube = 6, Triple = (3,4,5)
Cube = 12, Triple = (6,8,10)
Cube = 18, Triple = (2,12,16)
Cube = 18, Triple = (9,12,15)
Cube = 19, Triple = (3,10,18)
Cube = 20, Triple = (7,14,17)
Cube = 24, Triple = (12,16,20)
Note: The programmer will need to be concerned with an efficient implementation. The official time limit for this problem is 2 minutes, and it is indeed possible to write a solution to this problem which executes in under 2 minutes on a 33 MHz 80386 machine. Due to the distributed nature of the contest in this region, judges have been instructed to make the official time limit at their site the greater of 2 minutes or twice the time taken by the judge's solution on the machine being used to judge this problem.

问题简述:(略)
问题分析:
这个问题适合暴力枚举,更加巧妙的方法也难以想出来。
即便是枚举,也需要考虑能省则省。
这个题是原题,一个变种参见参考链接。只是这个原题没有输入,a、b、c和d值最大为200。
程序说明:
使用立方数组,可以减少重复的立方计算。
使用变量sum,可以减少重复的求和变量。
当和sum大于a^3时,就不需要再试探下去了。b^3+c^3大于a^3时,同样不用再试探,结束循环。
b、c和d的值根据题意,1
所以2<=b<=c<=d,得24<=b^3+c^3+d^3,取3<=a开始计算。
题记:(略)

AC的C语言程序如下:
/* HDU1334 ZOJ1331 UVA386 UVALive5303 Perfect Cubes */
#include
#define N 200
long cube[N + 1];
void setcube(int n)
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<=n; i++)
cube[i] = i * i * i;
}
int main(void)
{
setcube(N);
long a, b, c, d, sum;
for(a=3; a<=N; a++)
for(b=2; b<=N; b++)
for(c=b; c<=N; c++) {
if(cube[b] + cube[c] > cube[a])
break;
for(d=c; d<=N; d++) {
sum = cube[b] + cube[c] + cube[d];
if(cube[a] == sum)
printf("Cube = %ld, Triple = (%ld,%ld,%ld)\n", a, b, c, d);
else if(sum > cube[a])
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
