%C A135300 To prove that X = 1 or X = n^3 - 1: Y^3 = 1!*X^4 - 2!*(X + 1)^3 + 3!*(X + 2)^2 - (4^2)*(X + 3) + 5^2 = X^4 - 2*(X + 1)^3 + 6*(X + 2)^2 - 16(X + 3) + 25 = X^4 - 2*X^3 + 2X - 1 = (X + 1)(X^3 - 3*X^2 + 3X - 1) = (X + 1)*(X - 1)^3, which means that X = 1 or (X + 1) must be a cube, so (X, Y) = (1, 0) or (X, Y) = (n^3 - 1, n(n^3 - 2)) with n >= 2.
