From Wikipedia: "1729 is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number after a famous anecdote of the British mathematician G. H. Hardy regarding a hospital visit to the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. In Hardy's words: 'I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."'"
A011541 gives another version of "taxicab numbers".
If n is in this sequence, then n*k^3 is also in this sequence for all k > 0. So this sequence is obviously infinite. - Altug Alkan, May 09 2016

			4104 belongs to the sequence as 4104 = 2^3 + 16^3 = 9^3 + 15^3.

			87539319 is a term because 87539319 = 167^3 + 436^3 = 22^3 + 423^3 = 255^3 + 414^3 (3 representations).
6963472309248 is not a term because 6963472309248 = 2421^3 + 19083^3 = 5436^3 + 18948^3 = 10200^3 + 18072^3 = 13322^3 + 16630^3 (4 representations).  This is the first difference between this sequence and A018787.

This sequence differs from A003325 at term 61: A003325(61) = 1729 is the famous Ramanujan taxicab number and is excluded from this sequence because it is the sum of two cubes in two distinct ways.

			35 is a term of this sequence because 2^3 + 3^3 = 8 + 27 = 35 and this is the one and only way to express 35 as the sum of two cubes.
