%N Primes that are not of the form x^3 - y^2.

%C The current values are conjectural as they have been reduced from a finite list of values x^3 - y^2 within a search radius x,y < 10000.

%C Conjecture: The sequence is infinite.

%C No more solutions with x < 2.2*10^9. - _Daniel Starodubtsev_, Jan 22 2020
