	COMMENTS	`Crocker shows that this sequence is infinite.` `All members above 5 found so far (up to 2.5 * 10^11) are divisible by 255 = 3 * 5 * 17, and many are divisible by 257. I conjecture that all members of this sequence greater than 5 are divisible by 255. This implies that all odd numbers (greater than 7) are the sum of a prime and at most three positive powers of two.` `Pan shows that, for every c > 1, a(n) << x^c. More specifically, there are constants C,D > 0 such that there are at least Dx/exp(C log x log log log log x/log log log x) members of this sequence up to x. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 11 2016`
