(Conjecture) Every number n > 17 is the sum of 3 distinct primes. Natural numbers that are not the sum of 3 distinct primes are listed in A124868.
A125688(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 30 2006
Examples
The first three primes are 2, 3, 5, and 2 + 3 + 5 = 10, so 10 is in the sequence. No smaller integer is in the sequence. 5 + 5 + 5 = 15, but note also 3 + 5 + 7 = 15, so 15 is in the sequence. Although 13 = 3 + 3 + 7 = 3 + 5 + 5, both of those repeat primes, so 13 is not in the sequence.

Probably there are no further terms.
An outgrowth of Goldbach's conjecture. "[I]n a letter to L. Euler (1742), C. F. Goldbach [asserted] that 'every odd number greater than 6 is equal to the sum of three primes.' Euler replied that Goldbach's conjecture was equivalent to the statement that every even number equal to or greater than 4 is equal to the sum of two primes. Because proving the second implies the first, but not the converse, most attention has been focused on the second representation. However, whether the statement is true for all even integers is still unsettled. Nevertheless, it is supported by existing evidence. A Russian mathematician, I. M. Vinogradov, proved that all large odd integers are the sum of three primes. Surprisingly, his techniques involve extremely subtle use of the theory of complex variables; no one has been able to extend them in order to solve Goldbach's conjecture." Andrews.
"Every number greater than 17 is the sum of 3 integers greater than 1 which are relatively prime in pairs." - Wells.
