Short legs of Pythagorean triangles.
Also the natural numbers n such that there is an open knight's tour of the 4 X n chessboard. - Sharon Sela (sharonsela(AT)hotmail.com), Jan 02 2002
Also perimeters of integral triangles; equivalently, numbers n = a + b + c, where a + b > c, a + c > b, b + c > a, and a, b, c are integers (necessarily a, b, c, and n are positive). - Rick L. Shepherd, Aug 04 2013
Along with 0, possible scores in rugby union, where points can be scored with a penalty goal or drop goal (3 points), try (5 points) and converted try (7 points). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 10 2016
Also the positive integers n such that floor(t(n+2)/(t(n+2) - sigma(n+2))) = 1, where t(n) = n*(n+1)/2 = A000217(n) and sigma(n) = A000203(n) (see A242963). - Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra, Jan 29 2020
