Abstract: In this semi-expository article we solve the diophantine equation m5+(4cdot54b4)mn4n5=1 for all integers beq0. This gives an example of a family of quintic Thue equations that can be solved completely by using nothing more than Skolem's p-adic method. We also give a general introduction to Skolem's method from a modern perspective.
