They are ranked by a site called Brilliant.org, which asks users progressively harder math and science problems.

Think you might be as smart as one of these tweens or teens?

Prove it by solving some of the math problems they've solved.

x³ + a³ can be factorised into (x + a)(x² - ax + a²)
Therefore we can express x⁶ + a⁶ as (x² + a²)(x⁴ - a²x² + a⁴)
Thus if we can find the various numbers of n that can be expressed in the form a⁶ (note that both n and a should be integers)
This means we need to find the various values of a such that a⁶ is less than 500.

Now that means the values of n are 0 (0⁶), 1 (1⁶) and 64 (2⁶). 3 is not included because 3⁶ is 729 which is greater than 500.

Nice try dude but this another take:

suppose, p_n(x)=x^6+n=x^6±y^a.
the expressions "x^6+y^a" & "x^6-y^a" can be factorized only for the following values of "a"
x^6+y^6=(x^2+y^2)(x^4-x^2y^2+y^4)
x^6-y^6=(x+y)(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)(x^2-x*y+y^2)
x^6-y^4=(x^3+y^2)*(x^3-y^2)
x^6+y^3=(x^2+y)(x^4-x^2y+y^2)
x^6-y^3=(x^2-y)(x^4+x^2y+y^2)
x^6-y^2=(x^3+y)*(x^3-y)
because | n | < 500 and "y" (±y^a=n) must be an integer, for different values of "a" y^6=0,1,64 y^4=0,1,16,81,256 y^3=0,1,8,27,64,125,216,343 y^2=0,1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100,121,144,169,196,225,256,289,324, 361,400,441,484
possible values of "n" =y^6=0,1,64 =-y^6=0,-1,-64 =y^4=0,1,16,81,256 =y^3=0,1,8,27,64,125,216,343 =-y^3=0,-1,-8,-27,-64,-125,-216,-343 =-y^2=0,-1,-4,-9,-16,-25,-36,-49,-64,-81,-100,-121,-144,-169,-196,-225,-256,-289,-324,-361,-400,-441,-484
We can get all possible values of "n" by making an union of these 6 set of numbers (I am using the word "union" because some values have occurred more than one time). That gives 35 distinct values of "n".
