COMMENTS

Bombieri's Napkin Problem: Bombieri said that "the equation C(x,n)+C(y,n)=C(z,n) has no trivial solutions for n >= 3" (the joke being that he said "trivial" rather than "nontrivial"!).

Also: tetrahedral numbers that are the sum of two other tetrahedral numbers. (For the indices of these terms, see A002311.)[From Harvey P. Dale, Jul 25 2011]

EXAMPLE
