Conjecture: The sequence has exactly 122 terms the last of which is a(122) = 41405.
We have verified that there are no terms between 41406 and 2*10^5.
The conjecture implies that {P(v)+w^3+2*x^3+3*y^3+4*z^3: w,x,y,z = 0,1,2,...} = {0,1,2,...} whenever P(v) is among the polynomials a*v^3 (a = 1,5,6,7,9,10,12,15,18), b*v^4 (b = 1,2,3,5,6,12,18), c*v^5 (c = 1,2,5,12) and d*v^k (d = 5,12; k = 6,7). Moreover, it also implies that {8*t+w^3+2*x^3+3*y^3+4*z^3: t = 0,1; w,x,y,z = 0,1,2,...} = {0,1,2,...}. If a,b,c,d and m are positive integers with {m*t+a*w^3+b*x^3+c*y^3+d*z^3: t = 0,1; w,x,y,z = 0,1,2,...} = {0,1,2,...}, then we must have m = 8 and {a,b,c,d} = {1,2,3,4}.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 18 since it is the first nonnegative integer not in the set {w^3 + 2*x^3 + 3*y^3 + 4*z^3: w,x,y,z = 0,1,2,...}.
