2019-19 Balancing consecutive squares

Find all integers \( n \) such that the following holds:

There exists a set of \( 2n \) consecutive squares \( S = \{ (m+1)^2, (m+2)^2, \dots, (m+2n)^2 \} \) (\( m \) is a nonnegative integer) such that \( S = A \cup B \) for some \( A \) and \( B \) with \( |A| = |B| = n \) and the sum of elements in \( A \) is equal to the sum of elements in \( B \).

2015-9 Sum of squares

Let \(n\ge 1\) and \(a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n}\) be non-negative integers. Prove that if \[ N=\frac{a_0^2+a_1^2+a_2^2+\cdots+a_{n}^2}{1+a_0a_1a_2\cdots a_{n}}\] is an integer, then \(N\) is the sum of \(n\) squares of integers.

2012-4 Sum of squares

Find the smallest and the second smallest odd integers n satisfying the following property: \[ n=x_1^2+y_1^2 \text{ and } n^2=x_2^2+y_2^2 \] for some positive integers \(x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2\) such that \(x_1-y_1=x_2-y_2\).
