%F An integer n >= 3 is in this sequence iff A176774(n) = n (or, equivalently, A176775(n) = 2). - _Max Alekseyev_, Apr 24 2018

%e 3 is a triangular number, but is not a k-gonal number for any other k, so 3 is a term.

%e 6 is both a triangular number and a hexagonal number, so 6 is not a term.

%o (PARI) isok(n) = (n < 3) || (vecsum(vector(n-2, k, k+=2; ispolygonal(n, k))) == 1); \\ _Michel Marcus_, May 01 2016
