The 2-1 equation
 | (1) |
, and so has no solution. No 2-2 solutions are known.No 3-1, 3-2, or 3-3 solutions are known.
No 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, or 4-4 solutions are known.
No 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, or 5-4 solutions are known, but Letac (1942) found a solution to the 5-5 equation. The smallest5-5 solution is
 | (2) |
No 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, or 6-4 solutions are known. Moessner and Gloden (1944) found solutions to the 6-6 equation. Thesmallest 6-6 solution is
 | (3) |
No 7-1, 7-2, or 7-3 solutions are known. The smallest 7-4 solution is
