%N Factorials F which have at least one prime neighbor, i.e., F+1 or F-1 or both are primes.

%C Conjecture: sequence is infinite. But there are finitely many members which are sandwiched between twin primes.

%e 2 is in the sequence because 2 + 1 is prime.

%e 6 is in the sequence because both 6 - 1 and 6 + 1 are prime.

%e 24 is in the sequence because 24 - 1 is prime.
