%N Primes which start a Cunningham chain of length 5 where every prime in the chain is the smaller of a pair of twin primes.

%C This is subset of the sequence A236443. Of the first 10000 terms in the sequence A236443 only 48 have length 5.

%C a(n) generates a Cunningham chain of length 5 and a_n(i) + 2 is also prime for i = 1,2,3,4 and 5.

%C This sequence is infinite under Dickson's conjecture.
