It seems hard enough to satisfy just a small subset of the conditions. Ignoring the conditions about squares, I found: (a,b,c,d) = (1468664, 811728, 705592, 125712) a+b+c = 144^3, a+b+d = 134^3, a+c+d = 132^3, b+c+d = 118^3 a+b+c+d = 42^4 I would be really surprised if solutions satisfying all conditions exist, but I don't see an obvious obstruction.
