Example For 5 is not Perfect Square ,yet is SUM Of Two Perfect Squares;
5=1^2+2^2;
So Reasoning Given Above For 1995;1999&2003 :NOT perfect square cannot be expressed as sum of perfect squares by pythagoras theorem then none of these integers.SEEMS TO BE CORRECT;
1995-1^2=1994; 1995-2^2=1991; 1995-3^2=1986; 1995-4^2=1979; 1995-5^2=1970;....
1995-k^2=Not Perfect Squares
Reasoning Given Above By Cheenta Does Not Seem To Be Correct!
