Is there a clever technique to find n in A001481(n)=x (the list of all
numbers expressable as the sum of 2 squares) for a given (large) term x of
this sequence? To create A075880(n) = k such that A001481(k) = A071383(n) I
used brute force, i.e. creating all sums of squares up to some given limit,
sorting and counting.

If a better technique exists, can someone compute the column k in the
following table:


A001481(k)  k
5          4
25         13
....
148208125  27044791
243061325  ? (I got 39544748, probably wrong?)
1215306625 ?
3159797225 ?
6076533125 ?
12882250225 ?
53716552825 ?
64411251125 ?   the last term of A071383 given in EIS
