@ sms, Can you perhaps remind us what the formula is to determine lets say n = 45?

anonymous · Answer

45^3. I can't explain how I knew it was this pattern besides recognizing that 8 = 2^3 and 27= 3^3, and so on. n^3 is the formula

Yes you are right and very bright to have noticed it too, but this is not always the situation for these rows. I remember there was an equation that one could use to determine the values of these rows. Just can't find the English term for it to look it up...
