86 at most (Posted on 2012-08-18) Difficulty: 3 of 5
286 is conjectured to be the largest power of 2 not containing a zero.
This simply stated conjecture has proven itself to be proof-resistant.

Source: several articles on the web
Do not try to find a counterexample.
Try to explain why it sounds true and why it is so hard to prove.
