COMMENTS

In H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds the Martians use a base three number system: in such a system 3^n+2 instead of 2^n+1 primes would be inportant. Likewise instead of pairs of primes, triplets of primes would be studied as "interesting", so I call these Martian Prime triples as that's what gave me the idea for finding them.
