Some Thoughts I suspect ... | Comment 1 of 9
I think there is no solution.
First a ran a program from n ranging from -10^7 to +10^7 and found no solution.
Then I chose a polynomial:  n^2 + b*n + c and then cubed it, planning to equate the coefficients to those of the polynomial in the problem:
ie 1,0,0,24,0,0,192
But this led only to inconsistencies, so I suspect there is no solution.

I am not sure if I have proved that there is no solution, however.
