%N A165242 The larger member of the n-th twin prime pair, modulo 8.
%C A165242 Related to the rank of some elliptic curves by the conjecture on page 2 of [Hatley]:
%C A165242 Let E_p be the elliptic curve defined by y^2 = x(x-p)(x-2) where p and p-2 are twin primes.
%C A165242 Then Rank(E_p) = 0 if p == 7 (mod 8), 1 if p == 3,5 (mod 8), 2 if p == 1 (mod 8).
