%N a(n) is the first prime p such that q*r mod p = q*r mod s = 12*n, where q,r,s are the next three primes after p.

%C The only common values for q*r mod p and q*r mod s that are not multiples of 12 appear to be 1 for p=2 and 2 for p=3.

%C If we have prime gaps q-p=2, r-q=6*n-2, s-r=2, then q*r == 12*n (mod p) and q*r == 12*n (mod s), so (if p > 12*n) this is a candidate for a(n). Dickson's conjecture implies there are infinitely many such p. Thus a(n) should always exist.

%C It appears that in all cases if p = a(n) and q,r,s are the next three primes, q-p = s-r and n = (q-p)*(r-p)/12.

%e For p=1931 we have q,r,s = 1933, 1949, 1951, and 1933*1949 mod 1931 = 1933*1949 mod 1951 = 36 = 12*3. This is the first time that value appears, so a(3) = 1931.
