COMMENTS

Mollin and Walsh conjectured that there are no further terms.

Heath-Brown proved that the sequence is finite.

No other terms less than 40000000. - Paul.Jobling(AT)WhiteCross.com, May 14 2001

EXAMPLE

Smallest powerful numbers are 1, 4, 8, 9, 16, 25,... so 7, 15 and 23 are not the sum of one, two or three of them.
