Comments

The old definition was: Primes p>=5 with the property: if Prime(k)

If A(x) is the counting function of a(n) not exceeding x, then, in view of the symmetry, it is natural to conjecture that A(x)~pi(x)/2.

Examples

			Taking p=2, q=3, k=3 we get r=2+3=5, the first term.
Taking p=3, q=5, k=4 we get r=3+4=7, the second term.
From p=89, q=97 we can take both k=90 and k=92, getting the terms 89+90=179 and 89+92=181. - _Art Baker_, Mar 16 2019
