⎩ ⎨ ⎧ a + b + c + d + e + f = 6 a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 + e 2 + f 2 = 5 3 6
Let a , b , c , d , e and f be positive real numbers such that the system of equations above are fulfilled. If the maximum value of
a 3 + b 3 + c 3 + d 3 + e 3 + f 3
can be expressed as y x for coprime positive integers x and y , find the value of x + y .

I you will permit me to nitpick, the 2 problems differ in that, in the one you posted, you are looking for the maximum, so you need to show that equality can be achieved (which as far as I can tell, you have not done). I'm curious what values a, b, c... take at the maximum.
