42 is the sum of m squares for m = 3, 4, ..., 28.

The 9th integer which is the sum of 3 distinct squares: 12 + 42 + 52.

The 2nd integer which is the sum of 4 squares in just 3 ways: [1,1,2,6], [1,3,4,4], [2,2,3,5].
The 3rd integer which is the sum of 7 squares in just 4 ways (see 41).

422 = 1764, a square with different digits.

422 = 3*4*5 + 5*6*7 + 7*8*9 + 9*10*11.

422 = (12 + 5)(172 + 5) = (12 + 5)(32 + 5)(42 + 5) = (32 + 3)(122 + 3) = (32 + 5)(112 + 5).

422 = 1764, 1 + 76 + 4 = 92,   422 = 1764, 17 + 64 = 92.

72 + 152 + 232 + 312 = 422.

422 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 123 = 13 + 63 + 63 + 113 = 23 + 33 + 93 + 103.

The sum of the squares of the divisors of 42 is a square, 502.
