COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) There are infinitely many positive integers m such that pi(m^2) = pi(x^2) + pi(y^2) for some 0 < x <= y < m. Also, the current sequence has infinitely many terms.
(ii) For every n = 4,5,... the equation pi(x^n) + pi(y^n) = pi(z^n) has no integral solution with 0 < x <= y < z.
It is interesting to compare this conjecture with Fermat's Last Theorem. See also A262409 for the equation pi(x^3) + pi(y^3) = pi(z^3).

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 5 since pi(5^2) = 9 cannot be written as pi(j^2) + pi(k^2) with 0 < j <= k < 5. Note that pi(1^2) = 0, pi(2^2) = 2, pi(3^2) = 4 and pi(4^2) = 6 are all even.
