| Jan 19, 2010 at 22:24 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | I can't answer this question. I think I'd have more chance if I were allowed to use rational numbers rather than integers. My computer says "5863, 14820, 19825, 29575, 32500, 51675, 54575". | |

| Jan 18, 2010 at 5:50 | comment | added | Hailong Dao | Agree with Qiaochu: no obvious reason why it has to be increasing. | |
| Jan 18, 2010 at 1:13 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | This is unlikely, but it could happen that such a sequence exists which is unbounded but essentially non-monotonic (i.e. it remains non-monotonic even after finitely many terms are omitted). | |

This is closer to the question I saw on the board.; added 19 characters in body
