%N Triangular numbers that are sandwiched between two squarefree semiprimes.

%C All numbers in this sequence are even.

%C Terms such as 120 and 528 are in A121898 but are not in this sequence.

%C If they exist, further differences between this sequence and A121898 are > 10^18. - _Hugo Pfoertner_, Aug 27 2024

%C If they exist, further terms of A121898 not in this sequence are > 10^7779. This is based on considering the Diophantine equations x*(x-1) = 2*(y^2-1) and x*(x-1) = 2*(y^2+1). - _Robert Israel_, Sep 01 2024
