Numbers of Unusual Size

2361633138713^4 + 2378932615558^4 + 4978964945231^4 = 18*2477071347133^4

Which is to say, since I've not suddenly got my hands on ten trillion times as much compute power as I had on Sunday, I've actually managed to find an embedded elliptic curve in one of my quartic surfaces. http://tom.womack.net/quartsurf has the details, more information about quartic surfaces, long lists of points, and other things to amuse the easily numerically amused.
