i don′t think such ques. have proper   sol^n . they can be done only by hit nd  trial method ?

Many of such questions indeed have a good thinking and proper logic. Many such questions can be solved by AOPS Community. I think posting questions there can help him.

a=3, b=5, a^4 +b^4 +13=719  what I found but cannot explain:  a, b are prime numbers,  c=a^4 +b^4 +13  for a=3, b>3: 5∣c  for a=5, b>5: 3∣c  for a>5, b>a: (3∙5)∣c  can somebody explain why this is?
