Interesting fact ---> 36 - Ramanujam Number and Anagram

Back to my favourite number again!

1729 = 12 ^ 3 + 1

Now look at one of the anagrams of 1729 ---> 9271

9271 = 21 ^ 3 + 10

21 is reverse of 12 and 10 is reverse of 1!

Ramanujam's number never ceases to amaze us even after so many years!!!  Wonderful discovery by a Great person...
