			30030*j-1 or 30030*j+1 are not both primes for j=1,2,3,4,5. But for j=6 {180179,180181} are twin primes. So a(6)=6.

a(349) has 1001 digits. - Michael S. Branicky, Apr 19 2025

			a(13) = -1 + (2*3*5*7*...*41)*k(13) = 304250263527210*74 and {22514519501013539, 22514519501013542} are the corresponding primes; k(13)=74 is the smallest suitable multiplier. Twin primes obtained from primorial numbers with k=1 multiplier seem to be much rarer (see A057706).
For j=1,2,3,4,5,6, a(j)=A001359(1), A059960(1), A060229(1), A060230(1), A060231(1), A060232(1) respectively.

a(n) = p = k(n)*q(n)-1, where q(n)=A002110(n) and k(n)=A060256(n) is the smallest integer whose multiplication by the n-th primorial yields p+1.
