This problem asks students to use number theory to prove some results, and also show that some results are not possible.
To begin with students could consider what happens when they divide square numbers by $8$ by working systematically through the first few numbers.
If students are not familiar with standard expressions for odd and even numbers then they could be asked to find the rule for the $n$th term of the sequences:
Here is a list of number theory problems.
