COMMENTS
The data are derived from the following formula:
(a^2 - a*t - t^2)^3 + (a^2 + a*t - t^2)^3 + 2*(t^2)^3 = 2*a^6
(a^3 - 3*t^3)^3 + (a^3 + 3*t^3) + 2*(-3*a*t^2)^3 = 2*a^9;
(9*a^3 - t^3)^3 + (9*a^3 + t^3)^3 + 2*(-3*a*t^2)^3 = 1458*a^9;
(6*a^3*t - 72*t^4)^3 + (72*t^4)^3 + 2*(a^4 - 36*a*t^3)^3 = 2*a^12;
(6*a^3*t - 9*t^4)^3 + (9*t^4)^3 + 2*(2*a^4 - 9*a*t^3)^3 = 16*a^12 = 2*2^3*a^12;
(18*a^3*t - 8*t^4)^3 + (8*t^4)^3 + 2*(9*a^4 - 12*a*t^3)^3 = 1458*a^12 = 2*9^3*a^12;
(18*a^3*t - t^4)^3 + (t^4)^3 + 2*(18*a^4 - 3*a*t^3)^3 = 11664*a^12 = 2*18^3*a^12.

EXAMPLE
16 is a term, because when t is an integer, (6*(2*t + 1) - 9*(2*t + 1)^4, 9*(2*t + 1)^4, 2 - 9*(2*t + 1)^3) is a nontrivial primitive parametric solution of x^3 + y^3 + 2*z^3 = 16.
