Question 715382: can you find an integer greater than 20 for which the conjecture fails.(every integer greater than 5 is the sum of exactly 3 primes
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! German mathematician Christian Goldbach (1690-1764) wrote this
conjecture:
"Every integer greater than 5 can be written as the sum of three primes."
Even though this has never been proved in general, it has also never been
disproved, though many famous mathematicians have tried to prove or disprove it. So we are not going to disprove this famous conjecture here!
