A099019 Odd composite numbers n such that n-2 and n+2 are also composite. 3

%N Odd composite numbers n such that n-2 and n+2 are also composite.

%C No term is the difference of two primes. - _Juri-Stepan Gerasimov_, Oct 10 2009

%C Goldbach's conjecture states that all even numbers > 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes. If true, then this sequence contains all composites which cannot be expressed as the sum or difference of two primes. - _Bob Selcoe_, Mar 10 2015

%e 93 is the first term because 91=7*13, 93=3*31 and 95=5*19 are all composite and there is no smaller odd composite with both odd neighbors composite.
