The corresponding squares are 1, 9, 16, 25, 36, 64, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 256, 289, 361, 400, 441, 529, 576, 625, 676, 729, 841, 961, 1024, 1089, 1156, 1225, 1296, 1369, ...
This is a permutation of the integers.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 0 plus the next single term 1 is 1 = 1^2;
a(2) = 1 plus the next two terms (2,6) is 9 = 3^2;
a(3) = 2 plus the next three terms (6,3,5) is 16 = 4^2;
a(4) = 6 plus the next four terms (3,5,4,7) is 25 = 5^2.
