All the numbers are of the form 3n+1.
A165330(a(n)) = 160;
Subsequence of A165336.
EXAMPLE
Taking 79 as an example; 7^3+9^3=1072, 1^3+0^3+7^3+2^3=352, 3^3+5^3+2^3=160, 1^3+6^3+0^3=217, 2^3+1^3+7^3=352.
a(15)=229: 229 -> 2*2^3+9^3=745 -> 7^3+4^3+5^3+1=532 -> 5^3+3^3+2^3=160 -> 217 -> 352 -> 160 ... .
