Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A152908
Primes p=prime(k) such that p - nonprime(k) is prime and p + nonprime(k) is not prime, where prime(n) is the n-th prime and nonprime(n) is the n-th nonprime starting with nonprime(1) = 0.

EXAMPLE
3(2) - 1(2) = 2 (prime) and 3(2) + 1(2) = 4 (nonprime), so 3 is in the sequence.
17(7) - 10(7) = 7 (prime) and 17(7) + 10(7) = 27 (nonprime), so 17 is in the sequence.
37(12) - 18(12) = 19 (prime) and 37(12) + 18(12) = 55 (nonprime), so 37 is in the sequence.
53(16) - 24(16) = 29(prime) and 53(16) + 24(16) = 77 (nonprime), so 53 is in the sequence.
71(20) - 28(20) = 43(prime) and 71(20) + 28(20) = 99 (nonprime), so 71 is in the sequence.
