%N Numbers n such that there is no convex pentagon that can be decomposed into n pairwise congruent regular equilateral triangles.

%C Conjecture: These 59 numbers are all such exceptions.

%C Terms are idoneal numbers (A000926) except for the six terms of A229462.

%C Numbers k not expressible as k = x^2 - y^2 - z^2 with x,y,z >= 1 and x > y+z.
