%C A033954 Write 0,1,2,... in clockwise spiral; sequence gives numbers on positive
x axis.
%C A033954 The equations 1 + 2 = 3 and 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 set the stage for considering
whether it is also true that 5^3 + 6^3 = 7^3 and 7^4 + 8^4 = 9^4.
Reflecting on Fermat's Last Theorem or resorting to a calculator
dispels any hope that either of the two equations could be correct.
However, it is true that 5^3 + 6^3 + 2 = 7^3 and 7^4 + 8^4 + 64 =
9^4. More significantly, each of these equations is the first of
an infinite sequence of equations featuring consecutive integers
that conform to the spirit of the equations mentioned in A000384.
For n>0, a(n)^4+(a(n)+1)^4 +...+(a(n)+n)^4 +(4*A000217(n))^3 = (a(n)+n+1)^4+...+(a(n)+2n)^4;
e.g., 7^4+8^4+(4*1)^3=9^4; 22^4+23^4+24^4+(4*3)^3=25^4+26^4; see
