COMMENTS

This sequence does not contain any squares other than 0 and 1. See A188896. - T. D. Noe, Apr 13 2011

Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 20,... and the parallel line from 1, in the direction 1, 57,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized 20-gonal numbers. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 18 2012
