%N Numbers whose smallest expression as a sum of positive cubes requires exactly 7 cubes.
%C It is conjectured that a(121)=8042 is the last term - _Jud McCranie_
%C An unpublished result of Deshouillers-Hennecart-Landreau, combined with Lemma 3 from Bertault, Ramaré, & Zimmermann implies that if there are any terms beyond a(121) = 8042, they are greater than 1.62 * 10^34. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jan 23 2014
