%N Numbers k such that the distance between the k-th triangular number and the nearest square is a square.

%C A229118(a(n)) is a perfect square.

%e The nearest square to 6*7/2=21 is 25 and |21-25| = 2^2 so 6 is in the sequence.

%e The nearest square to 7*8/2=28 is 25 and |28-25| = 3 so 7 is not in the sequence.
