%N Table with T(n,k) = the number of ways to represent k as the sum of a square and a cube modulo n.

%C The top left corner is T(1,0).

%C It appears that this table does not contain any 0's.

%C It appears that row n is constant iff n is squarefree, and no prime divisor of n is == 1 (mod 6). It is not hard to show that such rows are constant, since the cubes are equi-distributed in such moduli.

%e The 6 ways to represent 0 (mod 4) are 0^2+0^3, 0^2+2^3, 1^2+3^3, 2^2+0^3, 2^2+2^3, and 3^2+3^3.
