%N Numbers n such that n^2 is a sum of consecutive cubes larger than 1.

%C Note that all triangular numbers A000217(i) have squares A000217(i)^2=A000537(i), which are sums of consecutive cubes starting with 1. But such decompositions are not counted here. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 02 2007

%C Also, the positive integers n such that n^2 is the difference of squares of two positive triangular numbers. - _Max Alekseyev_, Jul 27 2014

%C Included all cubes > 1.
