Comments

Conjecture: Any positive rational number r can be written as m/n with m and n in the set {k>0: prime(k)+2 is prime with prime(prime(k)+2) = prime(prime(k))+6}.

This implies that there are infinitely many twin prime pairs {p, p+2} with prime(p+2) - prime(p) = 6.

Note that if prime(n+2)-prime(n) = 6 then prime(n+1)-prime(n) = 2 or 4.

Examples

			a(1) = 2 since 2*1 = 2, and prime(2)+2 = 3+2 = 5 is prime with prime(5)-prime(3) = 11-5 = 6.
a(2) = 891 since prime(891)+2 = 6947 + 2 = 6949 is prime with prime(6949)-prime(6947) = 70123-70117 = 6, and prime(891*2)+2 = 15269 + 2 = 15271 is prime with prime(15271)-prime(15269) = 167119-167113 = 6.
