COMMENT

The sequence is complete. "In 1830, Legendre (1979) proved that every number larger than 1791 is a sum of four hexagonal numbers". See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HexagonalNumber.html and reference : A.-M. Legendre, Theorie des nombres, 4th ed., 2 vols. Paris: A. Blanchard, 1979. It is easy to check all numbers <= 1791 by computer. - Olivier Pirson (olivier_pirson_opi(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 14 2007
