%N Numbers n of the form a - b + c, such that n^3 equals the decimal concatenation a//b//c and numbers n, b, and c have the same number of digits.
%C This sequence is infinite because it has several infinite subsequences. For example:
%C 274, 326734, 332667334, 3..326..673..34 etc.;
%C 364, 336634, 333666334, 3..36..63..34 etc.;
%C 637, 663367, 666333667, 6..63..36..67 etc.;
%C 727, 673267, 667332667, 6..673..326..67 etc.
%C Note that: 274 + 727 = 364 + 637 = 1001 and 326734 + 673267 = 336634 + 663367 = 1000001.
%C Many numbers come in pairs, like: (286, 287), (1095, 1096), (18182, 18183) but also bigger number (140017877, 140017878) and (859982123, 859982124).
%C 140017877 + 859982124 = 140017878 + 859982123 = 1000000001.
