Consider pairs (x,y) of numbers where sum(p|x) p + sum(q|y) q = x*sum(p|x) 1/p + y*sum(q|y) 1/q where p, q are primes and sum(p|x) p > sum(q|y) q.
Or, pairs of numbers x and y where A008472(x) + A008472(y) = A069359(x) + A069359(y) where A008472(x) > A008472(y).
A001222(a(2n -1)) = 1 and A001222(a(2n)) >= 3.
For the vast majority of the time, a(2n-1) is prime. There seems to be about 1 pair per decade.
Conjecture: a(2n) < a(2n+2) for all n>0, but there are many times (1/10.84) that a(2n) + 1 = a(2n+2).
Conjecture: if a(2n-1) is prime then a(2n) is composite and vice versa. And when a(2n-1) is composite, it is congruent to 0 (mod 6). - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 22 2015
The first conjecture appears to be satisfied because if both x and y were prime then the sum of the A008472 were the sum of the two primes and the sum of the A069359 were two. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 03 2015

EXAMPLE
3 and 8 is first pair of this sequence because A008472(3) + A008472(8) = 3 + 2 = 5 is equal to A069359(3) + A069359(8) = 1 + 4 = 5.
