COMMENTS
The general conjecture in A266277 implies that for any integer m there are positive integers x, y and z with m + x^3 = y^2 + z^5.
See also A266277 and A266528 for similar conjectures.
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 7 since 0 + 7^3 = 10^2 + 3^5.
a(3) = 34 since 3 + 34^3 = 150^2 + 7^5.
a(8) = 30 since 8 + 30^3 = 101^2 + 7^5.
a(11) = 242 since 11 + 242^3 = 3420^2 + 19^5.
a(766) = 90891 since 766 + 90891^3 = 11850281^2 + 906^5.
