%D Albert H. Beiler, Recreations in the theory of numbers, New York, Dover, (2nd ed.) 1966, p. 197, nr. 8.

%e a(2) = 11, since the pair of triangular numbers 171 = 18*(18+1)/2 and 105 = 14*(14+1)/2 produce the sum 276 = 23*(23+1)/2 and the difference 66 = 11*(11+1)/2 which are both triangular numbers.
