COMMENTS
All twin primes except (3,5) have one of 3 digital root pairings: {2,4}, {5,7} or {8,1}: see A232880 for {2,4} and A232882 for {8,1}.
EXAMPLE
41 and 43 are in the sequence because they form a twin prime pair in which 41 has a digital root of 5 and 43 has a digital root of 7. Likewise 59 and 61 form a twin prime pair where 59 has a digital root of 5 and 61 has one of 7.
