%N a(n) = prime(n+3) - prime(n).
%C Comments from _Jonathan Vos Post_, Jan 22 2006 (Start): This sequence is the k=3 case of the family of sequences a(k,n) = prime(n+k) - prime(n). See A001223 and A031131 for k = 1 and 2.
%C The records in this sequence give A115401. The minimal value, after the anomalous initial values (5, 8, 8), is 8 which occurs iff n is an element of A007530 (prime quadruples: numbers n such that n, n+2, n+6, n+8 are all prime). (End)
