One more thing. When FindInstance returns {} it means that can prove  
that there are no solutions to the problem. This is perfectly reliable  
answer.
When FindInstance cannot decide, it tells you so.

Compare this:

FindInstance[x^4 + y^4 == -z^4 && x y z != 0, {x, y, z}, Integers]
{}

with this:

FindInstance[x^3 + y^3 == z^3 && x*y*z != 0, {x, y, z}, Integers]
The methods available to FindInstance are insufficient to find the  
requested instances or prove they do not exist. >>
FindInstance[x^3 + y^3 == z^3 && x*y*z != 0, {x, y, z}, Integers]


(Besides learning some calculus it might be helpful to learn the  
basics of Mathematica).
