%N Number of ways to write n = p+q(3-(-1)^n)/2 with p>q and p, q, p-6, q+6 all prime.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all even n > 8012 and odd n > 15727.

%C This implies Goldbach's conjecture, Lemoine's conjecture and the conjecture that there are infinitely many primes p with p+6 also prime.

%C It has been verified for n up to 10^8.

%C Zhi-Wei Sun also made the following general conjecture: For any two multiples d_1 and d_2 of 6, all sufficiently large integers n can be written as p+q(3-(-1)^n)/2 with p>q and p, q, p-d_1, q+d_2 all prime. For example, for (d_1,d_2) = (-6,6),(-6,-6),(6,-6),(12,6),(-12,-6), it suffices to require that n is greater than 15721, 15733, 15739, 16349, 16349 respectively.
