[seqfan] Re: Proof of the A186080 conjecture

[Max Alekseyev]

The proof is flawed.
In particular, the conclusion "therefore   n^4 = C^4" is not justified.
First, n^4 and C^4 are not necessary single digits.
Second, the decimal representation of (n*10^k + C)^4 does not
necessary starts with n^4 (e.g., 59^4=12117361 does not start with
5^4=625).

Max
