- 5 + 97
A prime congruent to 3 mod 4 divides it an odd number of times, which rules it out.
Legendre's three-square theorem allows it.
Lagrange's four-square theorem: every non-negative integer is, without exception.
The smallest pair of primes summing to n. Goldbach’s conjecture says one always exists; it remains unproven.
