Comments

The conjecture in A266212 implies that this sequence has infinitely many terms.

Examples

			a(1) = 3 since 3^3 - 1 = 1^4 + 5^2.
a(2) = 13 since 13^3 - 1 = 6^4 + 30^2.
a(6) = 5507 since 5507^3 - 1 = 29^4 + 408669^2.
a(16) = 90891 since 90891^3 - 1 = 949^4 + 27387137^2.
a(35) = 3778273 since 3778273^3 - 1 = 85386^4 + 883654380^2.
