A ping pong ball fell into a tight deep pipe ( eg. 30 cm long, buried in concrete pavement – having firm metal bottom), only 1 cm of the pipe is above the ground – so it can not be moved. The pipe was only a bit wider than the ball, so you can not use your hand. How would you take it out, with no damage?

One day, a frustrated Math teacher lost his patience with his students’ non-stop chatting. Thus, he decided to give the ultimate hard problem:
Find the only positive integer number less than 20,000 that is also a sum of three different positive integers, all containing exactly 7 factors.
There was a steady silence. Can you break the silence by figuring it out?
