Integers k such that k^2 is the sum of two oblong numbers.
All terms are even. First k^2 that are expressible in m>1 ways:
m = 2, k = 12, {x,y} = {3,11},{8,8};
m = 3, k = 1168, {x,y} = {163,1156},{508,1051},{688,943};
m = 4, k = 600, {x,y} = {24,599},{135,584},{155,579},{260,540};
m = 5, k = 1746, {x,y} = {110,1742},{285,1722},{722,1589},{917,1485},{1062,1385};

m = 96, k = 162026706;
Note that for k up 10^5 cases m = 7, 9, 10, 11, 13-15 are absent.
In general, odd values of m are much rarer than even values, why?
Case m = 7 is absent for k < 2*10^6. - Giovanni Resta, Jan 17 2014
Case m = 7 is absent for k <= 4*10^8. - Zak Seidov, Jan 26 2014
