@Sourish: When I say sum of 2 squares....I obviously mean that the 2 no.s are integers.(Otherwise it becomes too easy).

The 2 no.s given by u are not integers.
Cuz it is not necessary for (m3+n3)2 to be divisible by 2.

Let me get this clarified-If m6+n6=c2+d2 then c and d need to be positive integers.

Hint:

Use the fact:

(a2+b2)(c2+d2) = (ac-bd)2+(bc+ad)2
