%C It appears that this sequence has 15416 terms, the last of which is 2243453. - _Donovan Johnson_, Jan 11 2013

%C From a(1) = 157 we see that c(n) = (number of ways n is the sum of 5 cubes) coincides with A010057 = characteristic function of cubes, up to n = 156. This sequence lists the numbers n for which c(n) = 2. See A003328 for c(n) > 0 and A048926 for c(n) = 1. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 04 2023
