At a particular moment, a restaurant has x biscuits and y patron(s), with x>2 and y>1. How many values of y are there, such that all the biscuits can be distributed among the patrons, with each patron receiving an equal number of whole biscuits and with no biscuits left over?

1) x=a^2*b^3, where a and b are different prime numbers
2) b=a+1
