A warm-up: $$ \left(\frac{s^n-t^n}2\right)^2 +\ (s\cdot t)^n\ =\ \left(\frac{s^n+t^n}2\right)^2 $$ provides integer solutions for $\,\ s\equiv t \mod 2 $. *(Sorry, I couldn't help it).* >**REMARK** More generally, going in the *abc* direction: > >$$ \left(\frac{s^m-t^n}2\right)^2 +\ s^m\cdot t^n\ =\ \left(\frac{s^m+t^n}2\right)^2 $$ > >for $\ s\equiv t\equiv 1 \mod 2,\ $ and $\ \gcd(s\ t) = 1$.
