Re: Fermat extended - Only for mathemathicians

Search for the following at Google Groups and you'll come across a thread I
started on the sci.math newsgroup many moons ago. (I would provide the URL
but that extends to several lines!):

  crwhite at comp group:sci.math fermat extend

Click to view the complete thread to see some of the replies I got. I know
for a fact that part of that particular thread is missing because one kind
soul provided a counterexample matching x^4 + y^4 + w^4 = z^4, and that's
not there now.

Here's a spooky coincidence that doesn't quite fit your criteria:

3^2 + 4^2       = 5^2
3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3
