    The numbers which are written as the sum of two prime numbers are:

    4 = 2 + 2

    5 = 2 + 3

    6 = 3 + 3

    7 = 2 + 5

    8 = 3 + 5

    9 = 7 + 2

    10 = 5 + 5

    12 = 7 + 5

    13 = 11 + 2

    14 = 7 + 7

    15 = 13 + 2

    16 = 13 + 3

    18 = 11 + 7

    19 = 17 + 2

    So the numbers left are: 1, 2, 3, 11, 17

    The sum of all positive integers less than 20 that cannot be written as the sum of two prime numbers is:

    1 + 2 + 3 + 11 + 17 = 34
