Bezdek–Zamfirescu's X-ray conjecture

Let X(K)X(\mathbf{K}) be the smallest number of lines such that every boundary point of a convex body K\mathbf{K} is X-rayed along at least one of them. X-ray conjecture. For every convex body KEd\mathbf{K}\subset\mathbb{E}^d,

X(K)32d2.X(\mathbf{K})\leq 3\cdot 2^{d-2}.

The conjecture is proved in the plane but remains open in higher dimensions.
