Let a , b , c , d , x a, b, c, d, x be positive integers, and x = a + b + c + d + 729 3 3 3 x=\sqrt [3]{a+\sqrt {b+\sqrt [3] {c+\sqrt {d+\sqrt [3] {729}}}}} Find the minimum value of a + b + c + d a+b+c+d when x x has minimal value.


The answer is 19.

If a=6, b=2, c=4, d=7, then x=2. It's the minimal possible value, x cant be 1, since a + sqrt(...) > 1.
