[seqfan] Re: A115159 looks incorrect

[Alonso Del Arte]

What if instead of nonnegative we say "positive" across the board, to rule
out 0^2 and perhaps rescue 63 and 99?

However, Giovanni's remark "There are 718 such numbers up to 2*10^9" makes
me think there is some other requirement he neglected to communicate.
