Goldbach’s Other Conjecture

It was proposed by Christian Goldbach that every odd composite number can be written as the sum of a prime and twice a square.

$9=7+2\times 1^2$

$15=7+2\times 2^2$

$21=3+2\times 3^2$

$25=7+2\times 3^2$

$27=19+2\times 2^2$

$33=31+2\times 1^2$

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?

哥德巴赫的另一个猜想

克里斯蒂安·哥德巴赫曾经猜想，每个奇合数都可以写成一个素数和一个平方的两倍之和。

$9=7+2\times 1^2$

$15=7+2\times 2^2$

$21=3+2\times 3^2$

$25=7+2\times 3^2$

$27=19+2\times 2^2$

$33=31+2\times 1^2$

最终这个猜想被推翻了。

不能写成一个素数和一个平方的两倍之和的最小奇合数是多少？
