sounds to me like an exercise in using a computer to brute-force an answer to an arithmetic trivia question, unless there's some clever trick to doing it
@Sid Unless I've made a mistake (which is entirely possible) it is possible to make progress with only school-level maths and no computer. I'd vote to reopen if I could find the thing.
yeah i mean there are some relatively simple equations for sums of odd and even cubes, which you can apply to the problem. even at that, knowing them feels more like "can you Google" than a puzzle per se to me, but then again, there's been several such problems posed recently and the community seems ok with that.

I found a card of a company which must be several years old when cleaning my house. On this card, there is a riddle and I just can't figure it out. The code is the following:
k5aRhdGZ15HNz87JkZaR1Z6/m4aRnouNnpya0ZyQkg==
I am pretty sure it's something base64 encoded, however I can't decode it ...
I got a card with a text from a software company, and it tells me to decode it.
The only thing written on the card is the following code:

@ArbitraryKangaroo Don't get me wrong, (And if you do, I apologise)Now, I am no expert, but instinctively, It looks like you are suffering from an inferiority complex. Chill man, no one is here to judge you on the comments that you post.

@Sid: Hell, (Well, I don't get you wrong, of course :) its somehow completely obvious that I am extremely stupid to most of the people here (I am not comparing myself, as comparison had always produced hyper-nonsensical afterresults for me). So yeah, you are probably right.

But still, there are puzzles to rejoice, and to experience the beauty, and to get frustated solving it, irrespective of any other conditions.

@ffao What the heck is that PNG ? This is returning nothing (excepting the obvious meaning, of course) useful.
Well, the mechanical-puzzles fortnight is doing great so far... I'll probably post one tomorrow, and I hope next week will do better. (This comment is only here for "promotion" purposes, because I'm actually interested what mechanical-puzzles people can come up with)
