More precisely, they aim at determining all pairs of integers \\((n,t)\\) for which the relation  \\[ k^2+(k+1)^2+ \\cdots +\\bigl(k+(n-1)\\bigr)^2 =t^2 \\tag{*} \\]  holds for a fixed parameter \\(k\\in\\mathbb{Z}\\). This problem amounts to the task of computing all integral points on the elliptic curve  \\[ E_k:y^2= x^3-36x- 864k(k-1) (2k-1) \\]  over \\(\\mathbb{Q}\\). The latter task is solved for \\(k\\in\\mathbb{Z}\\) in the range \\(1\\leq k\\leq 100\\) by applying a well-known algorithm developed by \\textit{R. J. Stroeker} and \\textit{N. Tzanakis} [Acta Arith. 67, 177-196 (1994; Zbl 0805.11026)] and, independently, by \\textit{J. Gebel}, \\textit{A. Peth\u00f6} and \\textit{H. G. Zimmer} [Acta Arith. 68, 171-192 (1994; Zbl 0816.11019)].   The algorithm requires the knowledge of the rank and a basis of the Mordell-Weil group \\(E_k(\\mathbb{Q})\\), which is determined by employing the APECS program and could, as the authors point out, also be determined by means of the SIMATH package. However, there are a few undecided cases, when one uses APECS, and there is one undecided case with SIMATH (left open also by APECS), viz. \\(k=68\\). In this exceptional case the authors use a descent argument. In fact, by working in the class group of a specific quartic number field of class number 16128, they are able to show that a certain quartic has no global solution.   The curve \\(E_k\\) has torsion group \\(E_k(\\mathbb{Q})_{tors} \\cong \\mathbb{Z}/2 \\mathbb{Z}\\) for \\(k\\geq 2\\) with torsion point \\(T_k=(6(2k-1),0)\\) of order 2 and the obvious rational point of infinite order \\(Q_k= (12k+ 6,72k)\\in E_k (\\mathbb{Q})\\). The authors then state the following remarkable   Conjecture. If \\(E_k\\) has rank 1 over \\(\\mathbb{Q}\\), then \\(Q_k\\) generates the Mordell-Weil group \\(E_k(\\mathbb{Q})\\) modulo the torsion group \\(E_k(\\mathbb{Q})_{tors}\\).   The conjecture is shown to be true for the rank-one curves in the range \\(1\\leq k\\leq 100\\). By some tedious calculations involving the classical \\(\\psi\\)-functions, the authors eventually prove that neither \\(mQ_k\\) \\((m>1)\\) nor \\(mQ_k +T_k\\) \\((m\\geq 1)\\) can be an integer point. Hence, modulo the above conjecture, the only integer solution of (*) for \\(k\\geq 2\\) is \\((n,t)=(1,k)\\).","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q676280$AC3B1728-1C1F-4097-8E79-D37A0054AE28","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"1b466ca590039ea305e8cc047527b117e828a753","datavalue":{"value":"11G05","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q676280$75971371-B2C8-40B8-94B4-97DA45B727D6","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"4cec21971d51bae007370b0b5028f33db8ff96f2","datavalue":{"value":"11D25","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q676280$35732DE0-5E4D-41EB-8AF5-749E6DD01EAF","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"f00aec7b2c940e365c27808f50e4aeed90366677","datavalue":{"value":"14H52","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q676280$7EE79D2A-3EE2-4711-82A2-CCD2CA69F80A","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"ea6ef7477a3a5eb71fb9e3a3c21c38781cfc5e16","datavalue":{"value":"11-04","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q676280$B39884E3-82B5-46B6-91C6-F84585E33E3A","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"4eafe00c1aa39d50a7d297385a1a116156924314","datavalue":{"value":"992093","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q676280$E3165BA9-2040-4225-A52F-10220EECFA98","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"de107fb5733c8ef61c31bf4c4607e895384390eb","datavalue":{"value":"quadratic
