| Jul 8, 2012 at 22:44 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Eric, will do. As the question is Community Wiki, I think the protocol is to post one example per answer. | |

attempt to distinguish this question from another

| Jul 6, 2012 at 12:44 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Not sure I agree. 115132219018763992565095597973971522401 is the last $n$-digit number equal to the sum of the $n$th powers of its digits; I don't see it as an eventual counterexample to anything. | |
