Contribution from R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Oct 23 2010: (Start)

Writing x=(-1+sqrt( 1+4*n*t*(t+1))/2, each solution is associated with a diophantine equation 1+4*n*t*(t+1)=s^2. The sequence entries are the leading column if all solutions are presented in rows for a given n:

EXAMPLE

For n=14 x=20 and corresponding value of t is 5 since 14=20*21/(5*6)
