COMMENTS

Question: Is every prime a member of some pair?

EXAMPLE

a(4)=23: For the 4th pair though 17 is the smallest prime not occurring earlier, 17+8 = 25 is not a prime and 23 + 8 = 31 is a prime.

PROG

(PARI) v=vector(10^5):for(n=1, 100, f=0:i=3:while(!f, while(v[i], i=nextprime(i+1)): if(isprime(i+2*n)&&!v[i+2*n], f=1:v[i]=1:v[i+2*n]=1:print1(i", "):break, i=i+1)))
