COMMENTS
Conjecture: for every odd (prime or nonprime) number x>=1 that is not a multiple of 5 there exists a prime p such that p = z + x; where z is a multiple of 10.

EXAMPLE
The first and second odd composite number not divisible by 5 are 9 and 21, thus 19 = 10 + 9 and 31 = 10 + 21 are the first and second term of the sequence.
