FORMULA

Count twin primes <= p_{10^n}: 10th prime, 100th prime, etc.

EXAMPLE

a(5)=10250 because that is the number of twin primes <= 1299709, the 100000-th prime

MATHEMATICA

NextPrim[n_] := Block[{k = n + 1}, While[ !PrimeQ[k], k++ ]; k]; c = 0; p = q = 1; Do[l = Prime[10^n]; While[q <= l, If[p + 2 == q, c++ ]; p = q; q = NextPrim[p]]; Print[c], {n, 12}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Apr 10 2004)
