%N Numbers n such that m = n^2 + 1 is expressible as the sum of two nonzero squares in exactly two ways.

%C Of course m = n^2 + 1 is the sum of two squares, by definition. Here there should be just one other way to write m as a different sum of two squares.

%C Let p and q be primes of the form 1+4k. Then n^2+1 must be pq or 2pq. - _T. D. Noe_, May 27 2008
