Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.

To find which numbers follow the formula "a cubed number - 3", we need to calculate the cube of each number in the given sequence and subtract 3 from it:

2^3 - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5
5^3 - 3 = 125 - 3 = 122
10^3 - 3 = 1000 - 3 = 997
17^3 - 3 = 4913 - 3 = 4910
26^3 - 3 = 17576 - 3 = 17573
37^3 - 3 = 50653 - 3 = 50650
50^3 - 3 = 125000 - 3 = 124997
65^3 - 3 = 274625 - 3 = 274622
82^3 - 3 = 551368 - 3 = 551365
101^3 - 3 = 1030301 - 3 = 1029998
122^3 - 3 = 1815848 - 3 = 1815845
142^3 - 3 = 2915458 - 3 = 2915455

So the numbers that follow the formula "a cubed number - 3" are: 5, 122, 997, 4910, 17573, 50650, 124997, 274622, 551365, 1029998, 1815845, 2915455.
