Format is,
1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + ...
For n=1, the sum is 1^2 = 1.
For n=2, the sum is 1^2+2^2 = 1+4 = 5.
For n=3, the sum is 1^2+2^2+3^2 = 1+4+9 = 14.
For n=4, the sum is 1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2 = 1+4+9+16 = 30.
For n=5, the sum is 1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2 = 1+4+9+16+25 = 55.
For n=6, the sum is 1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2 = 1+4+9+16+25+36 = 91.
For n=7, the sum is 1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2+7^2 = 1+4+9+16+25+36+49 = 140.
ANSWER IS 140
