%N Number of twin primes between prime(n) and prime(n)^2.

%C Both p and p+2 must appear in the indicated range, and a prime can only be used once (so (3, 5) and (5, 7) can't both be used).

%C It appears that there should be more twin primes between prime(n) and prime(n)^2 as n increases. Specifically this sequence should be strictly increasing.

%C Indeed even the number of twin primes between prime(n)^2 and prime(n+1)^2 (A057767) seems to have a lower bound of about n/11. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jun 27 2019

%e For n=3, prime(3)=5 because it is the 5th prime. There are 3 twin prime subsets on the set {5,6,7,...,24,25} so the 3rd term is 3.
