%e 59 is a term because 59 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 7^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 5^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 6^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2.
