An integer $n$ is said to be [i]good[/i] if $|n|$ is not the square of an integer. Determine all integers $m$ with the following property: $m$ can be represented, in infinitely many ways, as a sum of three distinct good integers whose product is the square of an odd integer.

2016 Costa Rica - Final Round, A2

The initial number of inhabitants of a city of more than $150$ inhabitants is a perfect square. With an increase of $1000$ inhabitants it becomes a perfect square plus a unit. After from another increase of $1000$ inhabitants it is again a perfect square. Determine the quantity of inhabitants that are initially in the city.

Let \(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots\) be an infinite sequence of positive integers with the following properties: - \(a_0\) is a given positive integer; - For each integer \(n \geq 1\), \(a_n\) is the smallest integer greater than \(a_{n-1}\) such that \(a_n + a_{n-1}\) is a perfect square. For example, if \(a_0 = 3\), then \(a_1 = 6\), \(a_2 = 10\), \(a_3 = 15\), and so on. (a) Let \(T\) be the set of numbers of the form \(a_k - a_l\), with \(k \geq l \geq 0\) integers.
