COMMENTS
Every power of 2 with an odd exponent is a term.
Every pair of primes that sum to 4^k, with k > 1, consists of an evil prime and an odious prime. The smallest example is 16 = 3+13 = 5+11; 3 and 5 are evil, 11 and 13 are odious.
EXAMPLE
32 is here because 32 = 3+29 = 13+19, 3 and 29 are both odious, and 13 and 19 are both evil.
