PROBLEM NOTES:
First of all, I had to think hard whether "Three Power" means "x^3" or "3^x". But the latter would be
"3 to the x power", whereas the former is "x to the 3 power", so I think "Three Power" means "x^3".

This is also corroborated by Example #2, which states that 0 is a "Three Power" because "0 = 0^3",
not "0 = 3^0" which is false (3^0 = 1). So this problem boils down to "Given an integer x, does there exist
an integer r such that r^3 = x?"
