%N Numbers of the form 6jk-j-k.

%C Equivalently, numbers n such that 6n+1 has a factor == 5 (mod 6).

%C These numbers, together with numbers of the form 6jk+j+k (A070043) are the numbers n for which 6n+1 is composite (A046954). If we also add in the numbers of the form 6jk+j-k (A046953), we get the numbers n such that 6n-1 and 6n+1 do not form a pair of twin primes (A067611).

%e 31 = 6*2*3 - 2 - 3. Equivalently, 6*31+1 = (6*2-1)*(6*3-1).
