%N Values of C(n,3) which can be written as C(x,3) + C(y,3).

%C Bombieri's Napkin Problem: Bombieri said that "the equation C(x,n) + C(y,n) = C(z,n) has no trivial solutions for n >= 3" (the joke being that he said "trivial" rather than "nontrivial"!).

%C Also: tetrahedral numbers that are the sum of two other tetrahedral numbers. (For the indices of these terms, see A002311.) - _Harvey P. Dale_, Jul 25 2011
