Imagine seeing a boring number like 1729 and thinking "meh, just another taxi number" versus immediately recognizing it as a mathematical superstar! Hardy saw a taxi number, but Ramanujan saw mathematical poetry—the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways (1³ + 12³ and 9³ + 10³).
This is the mathematical equivalent of someone casually pointing at a cloud while their friend is having an existential revelation about the universe. Ramanujan didn't need formal training to flex those number theory muscles—he just woke up and chose mathematical violence every day.
The buffed-up Ramanujan illustration just makes it *chef's kiss* perfect. Nothing says "mathematical dominance" like neon workout gear and the ability to spot taxicab numbers in the wild.
