Well, here is another interesting set of numbers. These numbers, called the Dudeney Numbers have the sum of their digits equal their cube roots.

Interestingly, there are just six of them-(1, 8, 17, 18, 26, 27)

1 = 1 & 1³=1

8 = 5 + 1 + 2 & 8³ = 512

17 = 4 + 9 + 1 + 3 & 17³ = 4913

18 = 5 + 8 + 3 + 2 & 18³ = 5832

26 = 1 + 7 + 5 + 7 + 6 & 26³ = 1757

6 27 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 3 & 27³ = 19683
