| Apr 29, 2016 at 15:10 | comment | added | Jeppe Stig Nielsen | I have not read the reference, but is it true that no currently known (unconditional) general algorithm (allowed to be slow) can determine if an integer $n$ is congruent or not? Can you mention a particular $n$ for which the status (congruent or not) is unknown? | |
