| Dec 11, 2022 at 3:09 | comment | added | JoshuaZ | Not a proof but a heuristic that the answer is yes: Pick an a such that $6a+1$ is prime. Then there should be a roughly 50% chance that there is a $b$ that works based on considerations about half of all residues mod $6a+1$ being quadratic residues. Possibly quadratic reciprocity can be used to come up with an explicit modulus condition for $a$ which is guaranteed to work. | |
