For n≥4, the first four possible degrees have integral groups Z/2,0,Z/2,Z/2 in degrees n,n+1,n+2,n+3. Mod-two Betti numbers count cyclic summands, while the nonzero first Bockstein actions on u,Sq2u,Sq2Sq1u show that their orders are two. This prevents mistaking a nonzero mod-two group for a higher-order integral cyclic group.
