%N a(n) is the least integer h such that there exists a Pythagorean triple whose hypotenuse is h and whose other legs z satisfy A176774(z) = n.
%C a(4)=0 is conjectured.
%C a(6)=0 because all hexagonal numbers are triangular numbers (see A176948).

%e a(3)=35 because of [21, 28, 35] where A176774(21) = A176774(35) = 3.
