| Aug 13, 2012 at 9:33 | comment | added | David Feldman | In Goldbach's day, the number 1 counted as a prime, hence the clean conjecture that "every even number is the sum of two (old-fashioned) primes." The modern version, namely that every even number is the sum of two (modern) primes, is stronger exactly by the gap which is the OP's conjecture, hence some natural interest. | |

| Aug 13, 2012 at 7:27 | comment | added | user22479 | This is exactly the special case of Goldbach's Conjecture for even numbers that are 1 more than an odd prime. | |
