COMMENTS
a(n) is the least even number k such that there are exactly n unordered pairs of primes (p,q) with p + q = k and p and q have the same last decimal digit.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 86 because 86 = 3 + 83 = 13 + 73 = 43 + 43, all summands being prime with last digit 3, and 86 is the least even number that works.
MAPLE
f:= proc(m) local d, p;

d:= chrem([m/2 mod 5, 1], [5, 2]);

end proc:

V:= Array(0..M): count:= 0:
for m from 2 by 2 while count < M+1 do
