%N Absolute value of coefficient of x^3 in polynomial whose zeros are 5 consecutive integers starting with the n-th integer.

%C Sums of all distinct products of 3 out of 5 consecutive integers, starting with the n-th integer; value of 3rd elementary symmetric function on the 5 consecutive integers. cf. Vieta's formulas.
