# --description--
A triplet of positive integers ($a$,$b$,$c$) is called a Cardano Triplet if it satisfies the condition:
$$\sqrt[3]{a + b \sqrt{c}} + \sqrt[3]{a - b \sqrt{c}} = 1$$
For example, (2,1,5) is a Cardano Triplet.
There exist 149 Cardano Triplets for which $a + b + c ≤ 1000$.
Find how many Cardano Triplets exist such that $a + b + c ≤ 110\\,000\\,000$.
# --hints--
`cardanoTriplets()` should return `18946051`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(cardanoTriplets(), 18946051);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function cardanoTriplets() {
return true;
}
cardanoTriplets();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
