[#R1188] Current status and unresolved remainder
claim. OPEN as of 2026-07-31. The maintained Erdős Problems database at commit 8138974387d9030542daabe67faaa33eff9356f8 lists Problem 11 as open. The unresolved remainder is the full displayed statement. Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 11: A positive integer is called squarefree if it is not divisible by the square of any prime. Is every odd integer $n > 1$ equal to the sum of a squarefree number and a power of $2$?
