The least values of x and k for each n are in A056131 and A056132, respectively. %C A001033 Papers by Sollfrey, Hunter and Makowski correct and extend the work of Alfred. However, they do not consider n = 97, 241, 244, 276, 528 and 832, which are in this sequence. I have verified that there are no other n<1000. - T. D.

Note that x=2y+1 will be the first odd number being squared. If there are solutions then n is in this sequence. - T. D.
