%N Fibonacci numbers k for which the difference between k and the largest prime less than k is also prime.

%C a(n) - p = q, where a(n) is a Fibonacci number, p is the largest prime less than a(n), and q is also prime.

%C The only terms that are primes are 5 and 13, since there are no other Fibonacci numbers that are twin primes: see the MacKinnon and Gagola link. - _Robert Israel_, Jan 13 2015
