COMMENTS
No twin primes of the form p*(p+2) -+ 1 for p prime.
Only one pair of twin primes of the form p*(p+3) -+ 1 (it occurs at p=3).
No twin primes of the form p*(p+5) -+ 1 for p prime.
EXAMPLE
3*(3+3) - 1 = 17 and 3*(3+3) + 1 = 19 are twin primes (and 2*(2+3) - 1 = 9 and 2*(2+3) + 1 = 11 are not twin primes) so a(2)=3.
