%N The next new gap between successive odd primes (divided by 2).

%C If Polignac's conjecture holds (which is highly likely), then this sequence is a permutation of the positive integers. Even a weaker form of the conjecture would be enough: "Every even number occurs at least once as difference of subsequent primes". - Ferenc Adorjan (ferencadorjan(AT)gmail.com), May 17 2007
