This is an attempt to quantify the "coincidence" shown by this tweet:

Writing some basic C code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < 1000; j++)
for (int k = 0; k < 1000; k++)
if (1000 * 1000 * i + 1000 * j + k ==
i * i * i + j * j * j + k * k * k)
printf( "%03d%03d%03d\n", i, j, k );
return 0;
}
Compiling and running it:
mchouza@saturn:~/Desktop$ gcc -std=c99 -O3 abc.c -o abc
mchouza@saturn:~/Desktop$ time ./abc
000000000
000000001
166500333
296584415
333667000
333667001
334000667
710656413
828538472
real 0m0.791s
user 0m0.791s
sys 0m0.000s
So it's easy to find those values and some other ones. But how much of a coincidence is this?
