%N Lower twin primes p1 such that p1-1 is a square.

%C 3 is the only lower twin prime for which p1+1 is a square. This follows from the fact that lower twin primes > 3 are of the form 3n+2 and adding 1 we get a number of the form 3m. Then 3m = k^2 implies k = 3r and 3m = 9r^2. Subtracting 1 we have 3m = (3r-1)(3r+1) not prime contradicting 3m-1 is prime.

%C Conjecture: There exist an infinite number of primes of this form.
