Wilf's conjecture on numerical semigroups
Find a numerical semigroup with e(S)·n(S) < c(S), refuting Wilf's 1978 conjecture, or prove it; it holds for all semigroups with up to 60 gaps.
Unit circles through three of n points
Show that n points in the plane have only o(n²) unit circles passing through three of them; the best construction gives n^{3/2}.
Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture
Prove that some element lies in at least half the sets of every union-closed family; the best proven fraction is about 0.38.
Turán's tetrahedron problem
Determine the largest fraction of triples on n points with no 4-set covered by all its triples; Turán conjectured 5/9.

Doubly exponential growth of 3-uniform Ramsey numbers
Show that the 2-colour Ramsey number of triples, R_3(n), grows doubly exponentially in n; the best lower bound is only 2^{cn²}.

The sparse ruler constant
Find the limit of F(N)/√N, where F(N) is the fewest marks on a ruler of length N that measures every distance; it lies in [1.56, √3].
