%N Smaller member of a pair (p,q) of cousin primes such that p and q are in different centuries.

%C Sequence is probably infinite.

%C Dickson's conjecture implies there are infinitely many pairs of primes (100*k-3, 100*k+1) and infinitely many pairs of primes (100*k-1, 100*k+3). - _Robert Israel_, Mar 28 2023

%C It appears that every integer occurs as the difference round((a(n+1)-a(n))/100); all numbers 1..298 occur as these differences for a(n) < 1000000000. - _Hartmut F. W. Hoft_, May 18 2017
