I'm not sure I understand; 111113519 ** 3 = 1371831295485468999177359 The last nine digits of that are all odd. Put another one on the front of the left hand side and you get a value on the right hand side with the last ten digits all odd. Not sure why this can't keep going . . .

To settle the decimal case, you have to go up to mod 10^9 at which point you will discover that none of the 1000 possibilities is all odd digits.
I did it by grepping the output of this program:
#include <stdio.h> int main(){ for(int i=0;i!=1000;i++) printf("%09d\n", i*i*i); return 0; }
