%N Indices of primes p such that the next two larger primes are p+6 and p+12.

%C The primes themselves are given by A047948. Conjecture: if k == 0 mod 6 then there exists a prime p such that p-k, p, p+k are consecutive primes. (This would follow from a proof of Dickson's conjecture; see the Comments and References at A186311.)

%e a(1) = 15 since p(15), p(16), p(17) are consecutive primes (47, 53, 59) with common difference 6: 53 - 47 = 6, and 59 - 53 = 6.
