So far, two new solutions have been discovered (I use my own notation here):

(6,2,5) 92711+47567=83027+80556+59802+14700+14029
(6,2,5) 95713+63016=91080+79423+46074+9646+3402

We can expect 30 more solutions before the end of this computation.
And we can hope for a (6,2,4)...

From my previous benchmarks, searching for 6,2,4 is marginally faster, but there is a good chance that we won't find it.
I believe it's more gratifying to find solutions rather than nothing.

I'm the author of the original project about computing (6,2,5): http://euler.free.fr/ The project is running since 11 years, but I think the new yoyo project will outperform our project in a few days. The goal is to compute solutions to the equation: a^6 + b^6 = c^6 + d^6 + e^6 + f^6 + g^6 We use th...
