Problem 46: https://projecteuler.net/problem=46
It was proposed by Christian Goldbach that every odd composite number can be
written as the sum of a prime and twice a square.
9 = 7 + 2 × 12
15 = 7 + 2 × 22
21 = 3 + 2 × 32
25 = 7 + 2 × 32
27 = 19 + 2 × 22
33 = 31 + 2 × 12
It turns out that the conjecture was false.
What is the smallest odd composite that cannot be written as the sum of a
prime and twice a square?
