Noam D. Elkies has determined, after an exhaustive search, to 7.5 * 10^15, that 1057543811051633 and 1448734752622601 are the lowest primes such that they are sums of a square and a positive cube in 11 and 12 different ways respectively.
107122676734733201 remains a potential, but unproven, candidate for n = 13 and 14.
107122676734733201 = 18076^3 + 327286985^2 = 56276^3 + 327023625^2 = 83413^3 + 326408198^2 = 128726^3 + 324021045^2 = 180440^3 + 318194601^2 = 319330^3 + 273056899^2 = 339826^3 + 260535965^2 = 344065^3 + 257666476^2 = 385333^3 + 223400642^2 = 403688^3 + 203312727^2 = 415601^3 + 187984920^2 = 447428^3 + 132481143^2 = 457750^3 + 105867851^2 = 460826^3 + 96236115^2
