If x=n^2 and y=n^3 distance d=0.
For d values see A179107.
For y values see A179109.
For numbers x from 46 to 108 distance can't be less than 8.
For numbers x from 109 to 5233 distance can't be less than 15.
For numbers x from 5234 to 8157 distance can't be less than 17.
For numbers x from 8158 to 729113 distance can't be less than 24.
For numbers x from 729114 to 28187350 distance can't be less than 225.
