| Nov 14, 2015 at 1:14 | comment | added | Lucia | Can those voting to close think about the problem for a few minutes? If they do see a quick solution, I would certainly appreciate knowing about it. (I can see how a proof would go, as indicated in Zudilin's answer below, but it certainly is not immediate.) | |

| Nov 13, 2015 at 21:03 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | This is not appropriate for this forum. For t=1, you find that x^2 is at most 10, by looking at prime factors of y. In general, you study how squares lie between powers and find stuff studied by Pillai. Mike Bennet (if I remember correctly) can tell you more. Consider asking this on math.stackexchange.
