%N Integers x such that there exist four integers 0<y<=z<=t<=w such that sigma(x)^2*psi(x)^2 = x^4 + y^4 + z^4 + t^4 + w^4.

%C The numbers x, y, z, t and w form a sigma^2*psi^2-quartic quintuple.

%e (98, 32, 50, 78, 162) is such a quintuple because sigma(98)^2 * psi(98)^2 = 171^2 * 168^2 = 98^4 + 32^4 + 50^4 + 78^4 + 162^4.
