What composite numbers are not the sum of two prime numbers?

In 1741 Christian Goldbach conjectured that every even number could be written as a sum of two primes. [At the time 1 was considered a prime and so 2 = 1 + 1.] The conjecture has not been proven so there may be even numbers which cannot be so written. Also every number which is greater than 5 and is one fewer than a multiple of 6 cannot be so written.
