COMMENTS
The terms of this sequence are conjectural, even under the twin prime conjecture.

EXAMPLE
a(1)=213 because the interval [213^2,214^2]=[45369,45796] contains one pair of twin primes (45587,45589) whereas all higher intervals are conjectured to contain at least two pairs of twin primes.
The interval [122^2,123^2]=[A091592(11)^2,(A091592(11)+1)^2] is conjectured to be the last interval between two consecutive squares containing no twin primes.
CROSSREFS
Cf. A091591 number of pairs of twin primes between n^2 and (n+1)^2, A091592 numbers n such that there are no twin primes between n^2 and (n+1)^2, A014574.
