Talk:Centered cube number

Error in "Properties"

The Properties section appears to have had a variable swap applied to it. It claims to solve x² = y³ + 3y with (x,y) from {(0,0), (1,2), (3,6), (12,42)}. I find that x=2 and y=1 is a solution, but not the claimed x=1 and y=2, and similarly for the later two solutions. I think the problem may continue into the derived equation, which is also confusing in that it mixes (x,y) and (a,b). I would try to fix it, but the second half confused me too much.
