%N a(n) = the smallest triangular number T(k) such that n*T(k)-1 and n*T(k)+1 are twin primes or 0 if no solution exists for n; T(k) = A000217(k) = k-th triangular number.
%C For n = 8 and 9 there are no triangular numbers T(k) such that n*T(k)-+1 are twin primes.
%C a(8) = 0 because 8*T(k)+1 = A016754(k) = composite number for k >= 1.
%C a(9) = 0 because 9*T(k)+1 = A060544(k+1) = composite number for k >= 1.
%C Are there numbers n > 9 such that a(n) = 0? If a(n) = 0 for n > 9, n must be bigger than 4000.
%F a(n) = A000217(A248579(n)).
%e a(5) = 6 because 6 is the smallest smallest triangular number with this property: 5*6 -+ 1 = 29 and 31 (twin primes).
