Try to prove the following:
1) Every even integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. (The same prime may be used twice.) (Goldbach Conjecture)
2) There are no non-zero integers x, y, and z such that x^n + y^n = z^n in which n is an integer greater than 2. (Fermat's Last Theorem) (Has proof)
3) The real part of any non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function is ½. (Riemann hypothesis) ($1,000,000 prize offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute for a proof)

1. Integer = 2,4,6,8... ?
They can be written as:
4 = 2 + 2 6 = 3 + 3 8 = 3 + 5 10 = 3 + 7 12 = 5 + 7 Then use the next primes to make integer numbers: 11, 13, 17, 23...

But will there be enough primes to make all even integers?
