A088968 a(n) is the number of consecutive primes x-3,x+3 such that x=j*(p(n)#/3)/p(k), where 1 <= j < p(n+1) and 3 <= k <= n and p(k) doesn't divide j. 3

%N a(n) is the number of consecutive primes x-3,x+3 such that x=j*(p(n)#/3)/p(k), where 1 <= j < p(n+1) and 3 <= k <= n and p(k) doesn't divide j.

%C p(n) is the n-th prime; # denotes primorial (A002110).

%C a(n) seems to grow like 2*log(p(n)).

%e a(5) = 3 because for (j,k) = (1,3),(10,4),(8,5), j*(11#/3)/p(k)+-3 are consecutive primes.

%o (PARI) a(n) = {my(p=vector(n, i, prime(i)), x, y=2*prod(i=3, n, p[i])); sum(j=1, prime(n+1)-1, sum(k=3, n, j%p[k]>0 && ispseudoprime(x=j*y/p[k]-3) && nextprime(x+1)==x+6)); } \\ _Jinyuan Wang_, Mar 20 2020
