Solution re: oops slight error | Comment 5 of 6 |
(In reply to oops slight error by Daniel)

computer calculation shows the only solution between p=1 and p=8543 is p=2002:

list
   10   for P=1 to 30000
   20   V=2^1994+2^1998+2^1999+2^2000+2^2002+2^P
   25   Sr=int(sqrt(V)+0.5):if Sr*Sr=V then
   30   :print P:print V
   40   :print sqrt(V)
  100   next
OK
run
 2002
