%N Even numbers which cannot be represented by the surface area of an n1 X n2 X n3 block.
%C Twice A025052, see there for further comments.
%F a(n) = 2 * A025052(n).
%F Surface area = 2*(n1*n2 + n1*n3 + n2*n3).
%e A 1 X 1 X 1 block has surface area 6. A 1 X 1 X 2 block has surface area 10. No n1 X n2 X n3 block of intermediate size exists, so there is no way to create an n1 X n2 X n3 block with surface area 8.
