%C The inverse binomial transform is 1, 63, 216, 162, 0, 0, 0 (0 continued). _R. J. Mathar_, May 07 2008

%C Perfect cubes with digital root 1 in base 10. Proof: perfect cubes are one of (3*s)^3, (3*s+1)^3 or (3*s+2)^3. Digital roots of (3*s)^3 are 0, digital roots of (3*s+1)^3 are 1, and digital roots of (3*s+2)^3 are 8, using trinomial expansion and the multiplicative property of digits roots. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 31 2010
