COMMENTS
In the example, 37 is the only number possible for 2k=22. Twinl#(1)= 3 and 3+22 = 25, not prime. Twinl#(n), n>2, is a multiple of 11 so adding 22 will always result in a multiple of 11 and not prime. If k is a multiple of a lesser twin prime, then the number of primes in twinl#(n)+2k is finite.
FORMULA
Define twinl#(n)as the product of the first n lesser twin primes. Then if twinl#+2k k=1,2,3... is prime, list it.
EXAMPLE
Twinl#(2) + 2*11 = 37, the first prime 22 greater than twinl#(2).
