%N Smaller of twin primes {p, p+2} whose average p+1 = k*q is the least multiple of the n-th primorial number q such that k*q-1 and k*q+1 are twin primes.

%F a(n) = p = k(n)*q(n)-1, where q(n)=A002110(n) and k(n)=A060256(n) is the smallest integer whose multiplication by the n-th primorial yields p+1.

%e a(13) = -1 + (2*3*5*7*...*41)*k(13) = 304250263527210*74 and {22514519501013539, 22514519501013542} are the corresponding primes; k(13)=74 is the smallest suitable multiplier. Twin primes obtained from primorial numbers with k=1 multiplier seem to be much rarer (see A057706).

%e For j=1,2,3,4,5,6, a(j)=A001359(1), A059960(1), A060229(1), A060230(1), A060231(1), A060232(1) respectively.

%o (PARI) a(n) = {my(q = prod(k=1, n, prime(k))); for(k=1, oo, if (isprime(q*k-1) && isprime(q*k+1), return(q*k-1)););} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Jul 10 2018
