%N Numbers that are not congruent to 4 or 5 mod 9.

%C Conjecture: n is a sum of three cubes iff n is in this sequence.

%C As of their 2009 paper, Elsenhans and Jahnel did not know of a sum of three cubes that gives 33 or 42.

%C The problem with 33 is cracked, see links below: 8866128975287528^3 + (-8778405442862239)^3 + (-2736111468807040)^3 = 33. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Mar 11 2019

%C Numbers that are congruent to {0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8} mod 9. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Jul 21 2016

%C Heath-Brown conjectures that n is a sum of three cubes in infinitely many ways iff n is in this sequence (and not at all otherwise). See his paper for a conjectural asymptotic. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 12 2019

%C The problem with 42 is cracked by Andrew Booker from University of Bristol and Andrew Sutherland from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, see the link below: 42 = (-80538738812075974)^3 + 80435758145817515^3 + 12602123297335631^3. - _Jianing Song_, Sep 07 2019

%C A third solution to writing 3 as a sum of three third powers was found by the same team using 4 million computer-hours. 3 = 569936821221962380720^3 + (-569936821113563493509)^3 + (-472715493453327032)^3. - _Peter Luschny_, Sep 20 2019

%F a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8; a(n) = a(n-7) + 9 for n>7.

%F a(n) = (63*n - 63 + 2*(n mod 7) + 2*((n+1) mod 7) - 12*((n+2) mod 7) + 2*((n+3) mod 7) + 2*((n+4) mod 7) + 2*((n+5) mod 7) + 2*((n+6) mod 7))/49.

%e 30 belongs to this sequence because it has the partition as sum of 3 cubes 30 = (-283059965)^3 + (-2218888517)^3 + (2220422932)^3. - _Artur Jasinski_, Apr 30 2010, edited by _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 10 2015
