%N a(n) and floor(a(n)/6) are both squares; i.e., squares that remain squares when written in base 6 and last digit is removed.
%C For the first 3 terms, the above "base 6" interpretation is questionable, since they have only 1 digit in base 6. It is understood that dropping this digit yields 0. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 15 2012
%C Base-6 analog of A055792 (base 2), A055793 (base 3), A055808 (base 4), A055812 (base 5), A204517 (base 7), A204503 (base 9) and A023110 (base 10). - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 15 2012
