Historical Note on Anning's Theorem
Anning's Theorem appears as a problem in The $1970$ publication 250 Problems in Elementary Number Theory by Wacław Sierpiński, who cites N. Anning as its source.
Confusingly, later he refers to P. Anning in the context of the same result. It can be assumed that this is a mistake.
The name Anning's Theorem has been coined by $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ as a convenient way to refer to this result, whose description would otherwise be too unwieldy for convenience.
