Lemoine's conjecture

In 1895, French mathematician ร‰mile Lemoine proposed that :

2n + 1 = p + 2q always has a solution in primes p and q (not necessarily distinct) for n > 2.
[source below]

In plain language :

All odd integers greater than 5 can be represented as the sum of an odd prime number and an even semiprime.
[source below]

e.g.

13=3+(2ร—5)
19=5+(2ร—7)

Although the conjecture has been computationally checked up to at least 1010, there is currently no proof (or disproof).

Note: The conjecture is also called Levy's Conjecture which was (re)proposed in 1963.
