Comment:

 Tested this with a lot of values taken from:
 [http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A006431]

 and usage of:

 [http://www.alpertron.com.ar/FSQUARES.HTM]

 When we look at [http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A002635]
 we see that for instance 82 can be written in 7 ways as the sum of
 4 squares. For more results see:
 [http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/b002635.txt]

 So indeed this can be improved. But for now this is ok for a first
 attempt.
 Positive review.
