I guess I'd never really thought about the issue before. I've written about what numbers can and cannot be expressed as a sum of two squares and what numbers cannot be expressed as a sum of three squares but what numbers
The numbers are: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 43, 44, 47, 48, 60, 67, 72, 76, 92, 96, 108, 112, 128
A001476 Numbers that are the sum of positive cubes.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 93,94, 95, 96, 97, 98
These are the initial terms below 100 and the OEIS comments go on to say the following:
There are 85 terms below 100, 793 terms below 1000, but only 2765 terms below 10000, and only 23 more up to the largest term a(2788)=12758.
