%N A157242 Number of ways to write the n-th positive odd integer in the form p+2^x+11*2^y 
               with p a prime congruent to 5 mod 6 and x,y positive integers.
%C A157242 On Feb. 24, 2009, Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n)=0 if and only if 
               n<15 or n=17, 20, 23, 86, 124; in other words, except for 33, 39, 
               45, 171 and 247, any odd integer greater than 28 can be written as 
               the sum of a prime p=5 (mod 6), a positive power of 2 and eleven 
               times a positive power of 2. Sun verified the conjecture for odd 
               integers below 5*10^7. Knowing the conjecture from Sun, Qing-Hu Hou 
               and Douglas McNeil have continued the verification for odd integers 
               below 1.5*10^8 and 10^12 respectively, and they have found no counterexample. 
               Compare the conjecture with Crocker's result that there are infinitely 
               many positive odd integers not of the form p+2^x+2^y with p an odd 
               prime and x,y positive integers.
