I am trying to find three integer a, b, c so that equation (x-a)^4 + (x-b)^4 = c has four different solutions integer x. I tried

restart;
k := 0;
for a from -10 to 10 do
    for b from -10 to 10 do
for c from -10 to 10 do
if a*b*c <> 0 and igcd(a, b) = 1 then X := [solve((x - a)^4 + (x - b)^4 = c, x)]; if type(X[1], integer) and type(X[2], integer) and type(X[3], integer) and type(X[4], integer) and nops({X[1], X[2], X[3], X[4]}) = 4 then k := k + 1; L[k] := [a, b, c, X[]]; end if; end if; end do; end do;
end do;
L := convert(L, list);
k;
L;

I do not get any solution
