%N Primes p with prime(p) - p + 1 and prime(q) - q + 1 both prime, where q is the first prime after p.

%C Conjecture: The sequence is infinite, in other words, A234695 contains infinitely many consecutive prime pairs prime(k) and prime(k+1).

%C This is motivated by the comments in A238766 and A238776, and the sequence is a subsequence of A234695.

%e a(1) = 2 since prime(2) - 2 + 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 and prime(3) - 3 + 1 = 5 - 2 = 3 are both prime.

%e a(2) = 3 since prime(3) - 3 + 1 = 5 - 2 = 3 and prime(5) - 5 + 1 = 11 - 4 = 7 are both prime.
