Oct 20, 2016 at 20:27 comment added MJD 1729 is not actually the smallest positive integer which can be written as the sum of two cubes in two different ways; 91 is.

Oct 20, 2016 at 20:20 comment added Peter @DanielFischer OK, I didn' know this. I am sorry. But maybe this question changes the trend and more puzzles are posted here.

Oct 20, 2016 at 20:14 comment added Daniel Fischer And I applaud you for clarifying the question in a timely fashion.
Oct 20, 2016 at 20:13 comment added Nilotpal Kanti Sinha @DanielFischer - Fair enough. I agree with your point.
Oct 20, 2016 at 20:11 comment added Daniel Fischer @Peter The close vote was cast before the edit specifying the property. The question was unclear then. I had commented and asked the OP to make the desired property clear. If the close voter didn't want to watch the question to see whether it would be clarified, the close vote was perfectly reasonable then. Now that the question is clear, further close votes wouldn't be appropriate. (Whether the close voter comes back and retracts the close vote, or the close vote is left to age away is unimportant.)

Oct 20, 2016 at 19:56 comment added Peter The close-voter should , instead of voting for close, be glad that someone has the courage to post a puzzle here. I will never understand why such puzzles are not welcome here. (This question is an exception, $7$ upvotes are unusual). What I understand, that the forum is not a make-other-homeworks-forum, but what is bad about puzzles, I cannot imagine.
