S000068

Only the first two quadruples have first and last terms that differ by less than 30. The next quadruple of twin primes is  11 + {0, 2, 6, 8, 18, 20, 30, 32}. After the term 5, all sets of 4 twin primes have one of three forms: p + {0, 2, 6, 8, 18, 20, 30, 32}, p + {0, 2, 12, 14, 18, 20, 30, 32}, or p + {0, 2, 12, 14, 24, 26, 30, 32} for some prime p.
