Ok, so that would be 'perfect' cube being the cube of an integer as
opposed 
to a 'regular' cube which could be a number like 3.241 or 88 2/3
multiplied 
by itself and then by itself again?

Why does a bender number have to be the sum of two perfect cubes?  Why
can't 
it be any integer that's the sum of any two cubes?  I'm assuming the sum 
itself has to be an integer because a bending unit isn't likely to have a 
non-integer as a unit number...
