up vote 3 down vote favorite In a practice academic interview of mine, we discussed question six, round one, of the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust's 2015 British Mathematical Olympiad. Which states: A positive integer is called charming if it is equal to 2 or is of the form 3 i 5 j where i and j are non-negative integers. Prove that every positive integer can be written as a sum of different charming integers. Having been able to successfully prove this, afterwards I then went on to implement, in Python, a program which can express any positive integer in terms of the sum of different charming numbers. To do this I start by converting the integer into base 3 so that it is easier to find a charming number that is more than half the value of the original integer, but less than it. This value is then appended to a l...
