Comments

There are 138 such numbers between 1 and 1000.

Prime pairs that differ by 6 are called "sexy" primes. Other prime pairs that differ by 6 are of the form 6n - 1 and 6n + 5.

Numbers in this sequence are those which are not 6cd - c - d - 1, 6cd - c - d, 6cd + c + d - 1 or 6cd + c + d, that is, they are not (6c - 1)d - c - 1, (6c - 1)d - c, (6c + 1)d + c - 1 or (6c + 1)d + c.

Example

a(3) = 5, so 6(5) + 1 = 31 and 6(5) + 7 = 37 are both prime.
