<p>I have arrived to this conjecture in my work, I am not sure that is true or false. So I would appreciate if someone give a counterexample or prove it.</p>
<p>My question: Let n be a non-prime such that n-1 be a prime. Is it true that there exist a prime p such that n-p is a prime as well?</p>

Carnahan2012-08-13T09:06:25Z2012-08-13T09:06:25Z<p>The conjecture that any even number (greater than 4) is the sum of two odd primes is well-known to be open. You are asking about a special case that is also open.</p>
