%N Numbers represented by the "Little Methuselah" quadratic form x^2 + 2*y^2 + y*z + 4*z^2.

%C Theorem (Conway, p. 81) This ternary form represents every number from 0 to 32 except 31. Any other integer-valued ternary form not equivalent to this one fails to represent some number between 1 and 30.
