The integer solutions \((x,y)\) with \(y>0\) of the cubic title equation are found -- there are 11 of these in all -- by working in the associated cubic field generated by a root of \(x^3-4x+1=0\). The calculations performed are based on factorization techniques and are rather tedious. As a corollary all triangular numbers are determined that are also product of three consecutive integers; there are 6 such numbers.
