But I don't think that is the solution you were looking for

That was indeed part of the soluttion I was looking for. But the proof is not complete yet.

I did a question similar to this a few days ago. The first part was pretty much Jane's question, but without the k included.
It then followed up by asking you to show that 4[sup]n[/sup] + n[sup]4[/sup] is composite (for n>1).
Any takers?
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Here is the solution to your problem.

Now can we please concentrate on my own question here?

Calm down, I didn't mean to derail the topic. I decided I'd post the new problem because:
- Your problem has pretty much been solved already. The part that's left is considerably easier than the part that's been done.
- Your result is used in a nice proof for my problem, so I thought it'd be a good extension.
Anyway, sorry for upsetting you.
Everyone please focus completely on the original question because that's what this topic is about.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Sorry Jane, I was being nosy. Thanks for the invite. I already do a lot of lurking there.
(Hope you did not see the rest of this post before I got a chance to delete it. Stupidly, put my foot in my mouth with that thoughtless comment.)
