RE: Challenge: sum of squares. Let's break 299
If you follow the comments and links from the numberphile video, it looks like the maximum has been pushed up very significantly. Assuming the implementation was correct and addressed the problem in question etc.

Baring an inspired approach, the problem comes down to finding a Hamilton path in a graph. This is a NP complete problem.
