[seqfan] Re: Somebody knows this conjecture?

[David Wilson]

The conjecture is false.

For p = 509203, we have p+q = 2^n => q is divisible by one of 3, 5, 7, 13, 
17 or 241.

Any other prime in A101306 is also a counterexample.

In fact, this problem is the Riesel problem in disguise.

?Et al,

    In the first 1000 primes, I have found values for all terms but 4;
unknown values at: 286, 341, 530 & 591 and they exceed 35000. I will let
this run over night. I will be sending into the OEIS a b-text file tomorrow.

Bob.

Yes Charles, is the same sequence.
Thank you, Claudio
