COMMENTS
By the general conjecture in A266277, for any integer m there are positive integers x, y and z such that m + x^5 = y^2 + z^3.
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 8 since 0 + 8^5 = 104^2 + 28^3.
a(2) = 8 since 2 + 8^5 = 179^2 + 9^3.
a(6) = 11 since 6 + 11^5 = 143^2 + 52^3.
a(10) = 42 since 10 + 42^5 = 11415^2 + 73^3.
a(15) = 21 since 15 + 21^5 = 1355^2 + 131^3.
a(435) = 3019 since 435 + 3019^5 = 475594653^2 + 290845^3.
