How about finding triples a<b<c<30 of pairwise relatively prime integers such that the sum of their cubes is a perfect cube? I'd have to ask why you'd want to do that, it seems more like the problem was fit to the solution you wanted to write rather than to fulfill some piratical purpose. I'm not going to contest that there's a lot of business logic that gets more complicated than that, but they are not described so mathematically elegantly. There's no way you could tell what your code does, or why, without a comment at the top describing why. And you can do that with your example. But real business logic comes from the fact that Bob in accounting entered the wrong job codes for two months, but they can't be changed because they've already been archived, and Karen in sales told one of her customers the job code would default to the wrong value if they entered 42 as the compliance code, then the CEO said we should make that the default from now on, but we realized 2 years later that it messed some other stuff up and our manager had it changed without telling anyone, but Frank the DBA already added a flag for that, but it stopped getting updated when he left 6 months ago. In those real world situations, I doubt anyone would question that very long winded individual statements with a description for each one is way more easy to understand what's going on rather than the most concise code possible.
