COMMENTS
The data are derived from the following formula:
(a^3 - 6*t^3)^3 + (a^3 + 6*t^3)^3 + (-6*a*t^2)^3 = 2*a^9;
(4*a^3 - 3*t^3)^3 + (4*a^3 + 3*t^3)^3 + (-6*a*t^2)^3 = 128*a^9 = 2*4^3*a^9;
(9*a^3 - 2*t^3)^3 + (9*a^3 + 2*t^3)^3 + (-6*a*t^2)^3 = 1458*a^9 = 2*9^3*a^9;
(36*a^3 - t^3)^3 + (36*a^3 + t^3)^3 + (-6*a*t^2)^3 = 93312*a^9 = 2*36^3*a^9;
((3*a^3)*t - 9*t^4)^3 + (9*t^4)^3 + (a^4 - 9*a*t^3)^3 = a^12;
((9*a^3)*t - t^4)^3 + (t^4)^3 + (9*a^4 - 3*a*t^3)^3 = 729*a^12 = 9^3*a^12.

EXAMPLE
128 is a term, because (4 - 3*(2*n - 1)^3, 4 + 3*(2*n - 1)^3, -3*(2*n - 1)^2) is a nontrivial primitive parametric solution of x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = 128.
