    1 = Not Possible

    2 = Not Possible

    3 = Not Possible

    4 = 2 + 2

    5 = 2 + 3

    6 = 3 + 3

    7 = 2 + 5

    8 = 3 + 5

    9 = 2 + 7

    10 = 3 + 7

    Taking into account that there must be two "Different" prime numbers, that leaves 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10. So 5 of the first 10 whole numbers.
