Comments

Discriminant = 40. Class = 2. Binary quadratic forms a*x^2 + b*x*y + c*y^2 have discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac.

For each term p > 5, p^2 == 13^2 (mod 240), and p is of the form 120*k +- b, where b = (13, 37, 43, 53). - Boyd Blundell, Jul 05 2021

Examples

			13 is a term because we can write 13 = 3*2^2 + 2*2*1 - 3*1^2 (or 13 = 3*1^2 + 8*1*1 + 2*1^2).
