Five-adic obstruction to square class two on the curve with coefficient one hundred (W2=2U4+50V4)

This quartic has no primitive integral solution. If 5∤U, reduction modulo five makes W2≡2, impossible. If 5∣U, coprimality gives 5∤V and 5∣W; dividing by twenty-five then gives (W/5)2≡2V4≡2(mod5), again impossible. It excludes the square class two in two-isogeny descent on Y2=X3+100X. The point (5,25) supplies class five, so the subgroup property excludes class ten as well.
