${{(x+1)}^{2}}+{{(x+2)}^{2}}+...+{{(x+9)}^{2}}={{y}^{2}}\Leftrightarrow 9{{x}^{2}}+9x+15\cdot 19={{y}^{2}}\Rightarrow y=3z\Rightarrow 3{{x}^{2}}+3x+5\cdot 19=3{{z}^{2}}$ contradiction

@above,how did you get $y=3z\Rightarrow 3{{x}^{2}}+3x+5\cdot 19=3{{z}^{2}}?$

Just I replaced y=3z

Let $x+5=n$, we have $(n-4)^2+(n-3)^2+\cdots+(n+4)^2=9n^2+60=y^2$. (Motivation behind this is to cancel terms) This can never be a square, since if $3|y^2$, then $9|y^2$, but $9\nmid 9n^2+60$, thus, there are no solutions.

mod9 is enough
