Goldbach's conjecture

Goldbach's conjecture is that every even integer greater than two is the sum of two prime numbers. Goldbach considered 1 to be a prime number, a convention not often in use today.
Believed to be true, this conjecture is one of the oldest unproven statements in mathematics. For centuries mathematicians have attempted to prove this statement, without success.
