%N Values x for records of the minima of the positive distance d between the ninth power of a positive integer x and the square of an integer y such that d = x^9 - y^2 (x <> k^2 and y <> k^9).
%C Distance d is equal to 0 when x = k^2 and y = k^9.
%C For d values see A179790.
%C For y values see A179792.
%C Conjecture (_Artur Jasinski_): For any positive number x >= A179791(n), the distance d between the ninth power of x and the square of any y (such that x <> k^2 and y <> k^9) can't be less than A179790(n).
