Which rule satisfies the 6 figures on the left but is obeyed by none of the 6 figures on the right?
1)Bongard problem 21**/*****
In 1967 the Russian scientist M.M. Bongard published a book containing 100 problems. Each problem consists of 12 small boxes: six boxes on the left and six on the right. Each of the six boxes on the left conform to a certain rule. Each and every box on the right contradicts this rule. Your task, of course, is to figure out the rule.

Can you find a four digit number N that can be divided by 11, with the sum of the cubes of its digits is equal to N/11?
For example, 1342 / 11 = 122, but 1^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 2^3 = 1 + 27 + 64 + 8 = 100, which does not equal 122.
The problem is inspired by an old math olympiad question.
