%N Numbers k such that 6*k-1 and 6*k+1 are twin composites.

%C A counterpart to A002822, which generates twin primes.

%C Intersection of A046953 and A046954. - _Michel Marcus_, Sep 27 2013

%C All terms can be expressed as (6ab+a+b OR 6cd-c-d) AND (6xy+x-y) for a,b,c,d,x,y positive integers. Example: 20=6*2*2-2-2 AND 20=6*3*1+3-1. - _Pedro Caceres_, Apr 21 2019

%F a(n) ~ n. More specifically, there are x - x/log x + O(x/log^2 x) terms of the sequence up to x. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 03 2020

%e a(9)=57: the 9th twin composites among the odds are {6*57-1}, {6*57+1}, i.e., (341,343) or (11*31, 7^3).
