I always wonder about what really happened with his 1729.
Did he previously know that fact, maybe by chance, and then when Hardy mentioned the number he remembered?
Or when Hardy said that 1729 was not special did his mind literally trigger superhuman abbility and he started scanning all possibilities for how 1729 could be a special number and in less than a second he computed that 1729 could be written in two different ways as the sum of two cubes.
No one will ever know

Never trust anecdotes. I'm sure it's partially true, but i'm guessing it went more like
>Hardy mentions 1729
>a few minutes later Ramanujan comes out with his fact
It's still impressive, but I think stories of him (and many others) have been vastly over blown.
