COMMENT

Consider the following game: two players make moves in turn, initially the number on the board is n, each move consists of subtracting a perfect square from the number on the board, the player who faces 0 loses. This sequence is the set of losing positions in this game. - Mikhail Dvorkin (mikhail.dvorkin(AT)gmail.com), Jan 27 2008
