COMMENT

Iff n is not of the form by 6ab+-a+-b, then 6n-1 and 6n+1 are twin primes. - Jon Perry (perry(AT)globalnet.co.uk), Feb 01 2002

Even entries correspond to twin primes of the form (4k - 1,4k + 1), odd entries to twin primes of the form (4k + 1,4k + 3). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 03 2002
