%N Numbers that are the sum of seven cubes in exactly eight ways.

%C Differs from A345526 at term 2 because 1496 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 9^3 + 9^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 11^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 8^3 + 9^3 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 4^3 + 7^3 + 7^3 + 9^3 = 1^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 + 7^3 + 7^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 5^3 + 11^3 = 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 7^3 + 10^3 = 2^3 + 3^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 + 7^3 + 7^3 = 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 6^3 + 8^3 + 8^3.

%C Likely finite.

%e 1496 is a term because 1496 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 8^3 + 8^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 10^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 7^3 + 8^3 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 8^3 = 1^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 4^3 + 10^3 = 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 6^3 + 9^3 = 2^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 = 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 + 7^3 + 7^3.
