935

As all of us know, 1729 is the number associated with Ramanujan and Hardy about the number of the cab that Hardy took which he thought was not a very interesting number. In reply to which Ramanujan said not so, it is the smallest number that can be expressed in two different way as a sum of two (positive) cubes: 1729 = 1^3+12^3 = 9^3+10^3.

On the other hand, the number 935 has a less interesting history. It is the number of lies that was uttered by the Bush administration in order to start the Iraq war. Keep it it mind.
