Serge made the following conjecture: when 3 is subtracted from a perfect square that is greater than 4, the result is always a composite number. For example: 15^2 - 3 =222. 222 is a composite number because it is divisible by factors other than 1 itself. Do you agree with Serge’s conjecture? Justify your decision.
