There are 146 terms below 10^3, 831 terms below 10^4, 5345 terms below 10^5, 37788 terms below 10^6 and 280140 terms below 10^7.
Prime pairs differing by 6 are called "sexy" primes. Other prime pairs with difference 6 are of the form 6n + 1 and 6n + 7.
Numbers in this sequence are those which are not 6cd + c - d - 1, 6cd + c - d, 6cd - c + d - 1 or 6cd - c + d, that is, they are not (6c - 1)d + c - 1, (6c - 1)d + c, (6c + 1)d - c - 1 or (6c + 1)d - c.
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 2, so 6(2) - 1 = 11 and 6(2) + 5 = 17 are both prime.
