Dear SF gurus,

What is needed to be edited here?

Is this conjecture proved?:

%C A092938 The maximum value of p = prime(n).
Conjecture: a(n)= prime(n) only for n = 1 and 2.

Calcs show that 
a(n)-prime{n} steadily increases 
(with minor glitches).

Thanks, Zak

%N A092938 a(n) = p where p is the least prime so that
prime(n) = (p+q)/2, q is also a prime. 
               Or the least prime of the form
2*prime(n)- q, q is a prime.
%C A092938 The maximum value of p = prime(n).
Conjecture: a(n)= prime(n) only for n = 1 and 
               2.
%e A092938 a(8) = 7 as prime(8)= 19, 19 = (3+35)/2 =
