Let i, j and k be nonnegative integers, m > n be positive integers. As ((m^2 - n^2)^(4*i+1) * (2*m*n)^(4*j+3) * (m^2 + n^2)^(4*k))^2 + ((m^2 - n^2)^i * (2*m*n)^(j+1) * (m^2 + n^2)^k)^8 = ((m^2 - n^2)^(4*i) * (2*m*n)^(4*j+3) * (m^2 + n^2)^(4*k+1))^2, so that the number of the form (m^2 - n^2)^(4*i) * (2*m*n)^(4*j+3) * (m^2 + n^2)^(4*k+1) is a term.
When (x, y, z) is a solution of x^2 + y^4 = z^2 (i.e., z = A271576(n)), (x^(4*i+1) * y^(4*j+2) * z^(4*k), x^i * y^(j+1) * z^k, x^(4*i) * y^(4*j+2) * z^(4*k+1)) is a solution of x^2 + y^8 = z^2.
When (x, y, z) is a solution of x^2 + y^6 = z^2 (i.e., z = A293690(n)), (x^(4*i+1) * y^(4*j+1) * z^(4*k), x^i * y^(j+1) * z^k, x^(4*i) * y^(4*j+1) * z^(4*k+1)) is a solution of x^2 + y^8 = z^2.
When (x, y, z) is a solution of x^2 + y^8 = z^2, (x^(4*i+1) * y^(4*j) * z^(4*k), x^i * y^(j+1) * z^k, x^(4*i) * y^(4*j) * z^(4*k+1)) is also a solution of x^2 + y^8 = z^2.

EXAMPLE
12^2 + 2^8 = 20^2, 20 is a term.
63^2 + 2^8 = 65^2, 65 is a term.
