What are the two smallest positive whole numbers the difference of whose squares is a cube and the difference of whose cubes is a square ?

I can go along with using the sum of the two numbers as the size criterion. Then Charlie's program does verify that 6 and 10 are smallest. I wonder what Ravi Raja really meant here, though. Maybe the official solution will tell us.
