%C A045944 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)^3+(a(n)+1)^3 +...+(a(n)+n)^3 +2*A000217(n)^2= (a(n)+n+1)^3+...+(a(n)+2n)^3;
e.g., 5^3+6^3+2*1^2=7^3; 16^3+17^3+18^3+2*3^2=19^3+20^3; see also
