COMMENTS
Numbers n such that neither variant of Mordell's equation y^2=x^3+n (A054504) or y^2=x^3-n (A081121) has an integral solution with nonzero x and y. - Jack Brennen, Aug 28 2003

EXAMPLE
16 is in the sequence because the only integral solution to Mordell's equation y^2 = x^3 +- 16 is (y=4,x=0). 49 is not in the sequence because it can also be expressed as 65^3-524^2.
