Anzis–Tohăneanu's simple-crossing conjecture for complex supersolvable arrangements

Let t2t_2 denote the number of crossing points of multiplicity 22 in a complex line arrangement, and let ss be the number of its lines. A non-pencil complex supersolvable line arrangement is a supersolvable arrangement that is not a pencil. Anzis–Tohăneanu's conjecture. Every non-pencil complex supersolvable line arrangement of ss lines has

t2s/2.t_2\geq s/2.

This is described as a much stronger conjecture than the assertion that t2>0t_2>0 for every nontrivial complex supersolvable arrangement, and it remains open in the source.
