Why start a new thread-

Smith lives on 13th Ave. which has houses numbered from 13 to 1300.
Jones wants to know the number of Smith's house.

Jones asks: "Is it less than 500?"
Smith answers - but he lies.

Jones asks: "Is it a perfect square?"
Smith answers - but he lies again.

Jones asks: "Is it a perfect cube?"
Smith answers and this time tells the truth.

Jones says: "If I knew whether or not the second figure was '1' - I could tell you the number of the house.

Smith tells him whether or not the second figure is '1' and Jones announces what he thinks is the number of the house.
But he is wrong.

Question : What is the number of Smith's house?
