Show that there are exactly two reduced positive definite integer binary quadratic forms with discriminant 20-20; write these forms down.

State a criterion for an odd integer nn to be properly represented by a positive definite integer binary quadratic form of given discriminant dd.

Describe, in terms of congruences modulo 20, which primes other than 2,5 are properly represented by the form x2+5y2x^{2}+5 y^{2}, and justify your answer.
