My Solution for "In 1752, Goldbach submitted the following conjecture to Euler: Every odd integer can be written in the form $p + 2a^2$, where $p$ is either a prime or $1$ and $a \geq 0$. Show that the integer $5777$ refutes this conjecture."

My Solution for "Sylvester ($1896$) rephrased the Goldbach conjecture: Every even integer $2n$ greater than $4$ is the sum of two primes, one larger than $n/2$ and the other less than $3n/2$. Verify this version of the conjecture for all even integers between $6$ and $76$."
