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

%C Differs from A345548 at term 10 because 966 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 6^3 + 9^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 7^3 + 8^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 9^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 8^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 9^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 7^3 + 7^3 = 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 5^3.

%C Likely finite.

%e 861 is a term because 861 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 4^3 + 8^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 + 7^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 6^3 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 7^3 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 8^3 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 = 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 7^3 = 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 5^3.
