Goldbach's twin primes
jnelson5jnelson5 1220855874|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Is there an easy formula that could be used to generate the sequence of numbers that are sums of twin primes (or an easy way to find said sequence)?

I know the sequence starts 8, 12, 24, 36, 60, 84, 120, 144, 204, 216, \cdots and it's not in the OEIS.

[edit: added three more terms to the sequence.]

So…

Oddly enough, this sequence is in the OEIS… A054735 (Idon't know why I couldn't find it earlier!)

But it did mention that the formula to find any term is p^q + q^p \mod pq, where p,q is the nth twin prime pair.
