259: What’s special about the number 259?

Plenty:

259=3²+5²+15²= 3²+9²+13² so, it can be expressed as the sum of three distinct squares in two different ways.

It can be expressed as the sum of four cubes in two different ways. 259=2³+2³+3³+6³=1³+2³+5³+5³.

It is semi-prime in that it is a number that is the product of two distinct primes: 7×37.

I have had another busy day and this is the best I could do when it came to writing this evening…
