S000070

Only the first 6-tuple (3) has first and last pair that differ by less than 48. Terms beyond the first were computed using a C++ program. The first large primes are 1256522812841 + {0, 2, 6, 8, 18, 20, 30, 32, 36, 38, 48, 50} and 45183473856329 + {0, 2, 12, 14, 18, 20, 30, 32, 42, 44, 48, 50}. Note that the second pattern is the inverse of the first.

Terms beyond the third are from Jens Kruse Andersen. - T. D. Noe, Jun 27 2014
