| Jan 17, 2022 at 18:29 | comment | added | Bogdan Grechuk | @Kieren, You mentioned (in a comment to a different question) that you are "putting together the final version of my paper now. It includes elementary solutions — most new — for the equations X3=Y2+k with −4≤k≤4." I would be interested to read this paper. Is it available somewhere? | |

corrected typo

| Jul 6, 2021 at 6:26 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | I presume this is a "cleaned up" version of the proof mentioned in your other answer, shorn of all the objectionable elements? | |

corrected "theorem" -> "lemma"

| Jul 5, 2021 at 13:36 | comment | added | Kieren MacMillan | Note the use of Fermat’s method of descent (“minimal counterexample”) in the Lemma. | |
| Jul 5, 2021 at 13:36 | comment | added | Kieren MacMillan | Lemma and Corollary (in the case $a^2+3b^2$) due to Stan Dolan. Adjustments (for $a^2+2b^2$) and Theorem due to multiple Gazette readers. | |
