a(1) requires 6 squares, a(2) requires 8, a(3) requires 5 and a(4) through a(70) require 3. - David Wasserman (wasserma(AT)spawar.navy.mil), Sep 01 2005

EXAMPLE

The first representations different from those in A089296 are

a(6)=31: 13^2 = 169 = 31^2 - 29^2 + 7^2 = -31^2 + 29^2 + 17^2

a(10)=23: 29^2 = 841 = 23^2 + 19^2 - 7^2

a(11)=29: 31^2 = 961 = 29^2 + 13^2 - 7^2
