Thanks to Edwin Clark for his remark: looking for one solution using DISTINCT positive integers. Christian. -----Message d'origine----- De : math-fun-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:math-fun-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] De la part de Christian Boyer Envoyé : samedi 14 juin 2008 11:18 À : 'math-fun' Objet : [math-fun] System of 2 diophantine equations I am looking for at least one integer solution of this system: a^3 - d^3 = b^3 - e^3 = c^3 - f^3 a^3 - g^3 = b^3 - h^3 = c^3 - i^3 Quite easy to find near solutions, for example: 165^3 - 72^3 = 178^3 - 115^3 = 162^3 - 51^3 165^3 - 618^3 = 178^3 - 619^3 = 162^3 - 235788435 Unfortunately 235788435 is not a cube... It seems that there is no solution with integers < 300000^3. Any idea?
