what is the minimum prime number that is the sum of exactly two odd prime numbers?
i.e I want to find a counter example to:
$$p_i+p_j \in \mathbb P \operatorname{iff} i=1 \lor j=1$$

If prime numbers are allowed to be negative then the answer is $-2=3+(-5)$ for example. – Mark Bennet Oct 13 '18 at 07:16

Sum of two odd primes is even, which means that it cannot be a prime > 2.
