%C A318733 The second part of Ramanujan's question 699 in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society (VII, 199) asked "Show that the roots of the equations ..., x^6 + x^5 - x^3 - x^2 - x + 1 = 0 can be expressed in terms of radicals."
%C A318733 The polynomial includes a trivial factor, i.e., x^6 + x^5 - x^3 - x^2 - x + 1 = (x - 1) * (x^5 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^3 + x^2 - 1).
