Re: Sum of R primes?
Do they require speed, originality or what?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Sum of R primes?
They do not care. I just want to check whether my skills are doing okay.
$RecursionLimit = Infinity;
Expressible[n_, r_] := If[r == 1,
PrimeQ[n], Block[{},
For[i = 1, Prime[i] < n, i++,
If[Expressible[n - Prime[i], r - 1], Return[True]]
]; Return[False]]]'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'

Re: Sum of R primes?
In[11]:= Expressible[7, #] & /@ {2, 3, 4}
Out[11]= {True, True, False}Expressible[7,2] holds true because 2+5 is 7 and they are primes
and Expressible[7,3] holds true because 2+2+3 and they are primes
but Expressible[7,4] returns False

Hahhahahahhaha, that is very good but fundamentally false. Your problem would be easy to spot in assembly but most people do not even know about now.
