%N A100873 Pseudotwinprimes: primes p such that p+2 divides p^(p+2)+2 and p+2 is 
               composite.
%C A100873 Conjecture 1: If p and p+2 are prime (twin primes), then p+2 divides 
               p^(p+2)+2. Compared to the 1517 twin primes less than 130000, there 
               were 33 pseudoprime occurrences. Conjecture 2: If for a randomly 
               chosen prime p, p+2 divides p^(p+2)+2, then there is a greater than 
               98% chance that p and p+2 are twin primes. The sequence also contains 
               several Carmichael numbers. In addition, If we relax the condition 
               that p is prime or just odd, we get A001567 341,561,645,1105,1387,
               1729,1905,2047.. Sarrus numbers.
%F A100873 For primes p if p+2 divides p^(p+2) + 2 then p+2 is likley to be prime. 
               If p+2 is composite, then p+2 is a pseudotwinprime.
%e A100873 For prime p = 643, 645 divides 643^(645)+ 2 and 645 is composite.
