%N Smallest member of a sexy prime triple: value of p such that p, p+6 and p+12 are all prime, but p+18 is not (although p-6 might be).

%C p-6 will be prime if the prime triple contains the last 3 primes of a sexy prime quadruple.

%C If a sexy prime triple happens to include the last 3 members of a sexy prime quadruple, this sequence will contain the sexy prime triple's smallest member; e.g., a(4)=47 is the smallest member of the sexy prime triple (47, 53, 59), but is also the second member of the sexy prime quadruple (41, 47, 53, 59). - _Daniel Forgues_, Aug 05 2009
