%e 21252 is a term because 21252 = 1^4 + 1^4 + 1^4 + 1^4 + 4^4 + 4^4 + 12^4 = 1^4 + 1^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 9^4 + 11^4 = 1^4 + 1^4 + 7^4 + 8^4 + 8^4 + 8^4 + 9^4 = 1^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 3^4 + 7^4 + 8^4 + 11^4 = 1^4 + 2^4 + 3^4 + 3^4 + 3^4 + 4^4 + 12^4 = 1^4 + 2^4 + 4^4 + 6^4 + 9^4 + 9^4 + 9^4 = 1^4 + 4^4 + 4^4 + 6^4 + 7^4 + 7^4 + 11^4 = 3^4 + 4^4 + 6^4 + 7^4 + 8^4 + 9^4 + 9^4.
