COMMENTS
Original name: Lower prime of a difference of 6 between consecutive primes.
Conjecture: The sequence is infinite and for every n >= 7746, a(n+1) < a(n)^(1+1/n). Namely for n >= 7746, a(n)^(1/n) is a strictly decreasing function of n (See comment lines of the sequence A248855). - Jahangeer Kholdi and Farideh Firoozbakht, Nov 29 2014

EXAMPLE
23 is a term as the next prime 29 = 23 + 6.
MAPLE

while q-p <> 6 do
