This is the Goldbach Conjecture. The conjecture has been shown to hold up through 4 × 10^18, but has not yet been proven for all integers.

Anyway, just start listing them. A good place to start is near the midpoint of possibilities. Note that an odd number must be the sum of an even number and an odd number. The only even prime is 2.

80 = 39+41? no
80 = 37+43? yes

81 = 2 + 79

82 = 29+53
