%N Pyramid game person numbers that have integer solutions.

%C This result comes from looking for "perfect Pyramids" which is equivalent to finding m values that satisfy m(m + 1)/2 + 1 - n == 0, for each n value.

%C Integer solutions have the form such that 2*sqrt( -7 + 8*n), is an integer, and Mod[n - 7, 8], are equivalent to zero, simultaneously.

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A135051/b135051.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..468</a>

%F From _Colin Barker_, Apr 30 2012: (Start)

%F Conjecture: a(n) = 9 - 2*(-1)^n + 4*(-8+(-1)^n)*n + 32*n^2.

%F Conjecture: G.f.: x*(7 + 72*x + 98*x^2 + 72*x^3 + 7*x^4)/((1-x)^3*(1+x)^2). (End)

%t Flatten[Table[If[ IntegerQ[2*Sqrt[ -7 + 8*n]] && Mod[n - 7, 8] == 0, n, {}], {n, 1, 10000}]]
