COMMENT

No others < 1299709. Are there any others? Related to a conjecture of Goldbach.

The next element of the sequence, if it exists, is larger than 1e9 ; see A060003. - M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), Nov 16 2007

The next element, if it exists, is larger than 2e13. - Benjamin Chaffin (chaffin(AT)gmail.com), Mar 28 2008
