Comments

78 from the first 100 terms are first or second members of twin pairs and only 12 are not. In a natural supposition that for large prime terms the latter should be in the majority, there are reasons to assume that the number N for which it occurs for the first time is very large.

The average of a twin-prime pair is the same as 1 + the lower twin prime, whose largest prime factor is tabulated in A060210.
