%N Nonnegative numbers that are sums of two nonzero cubes.

%C From _Michael B. Porter_, Oct 16 2009: (Start)

%C When calculating terms, there is no need to search beyond a value x defined by x^3 - (x-1)^3 = n. The positive solution is given by x = 1/2 + (sqrt(12n-3))/6.

%C There are no cubes in this sequence, but the numbers before and after a cube are all included. (End)

%e From _Michael B. Porter_, Oct 16 2009: (Start)

%e 7 is in the sequence because 2^3 + (-1)^3 = 7

%e 8 is not in the sequence because the only solutions to x^3 + y^3 = 8 have either x=0 or y=0. (End)
