The current entry of  0.237251058
http://research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A160910
seems to be incorrect in at least three decimal digits.
I guess it is defined as the sum over all 1/A001359(n)^2+1/A006512(n)^2.
Gathering twin primes up to prime(1070000) the constant
is at least 0.23725177606 .
Someone with some spare computer cycles---not the cycles that spin the
computer and the earth around the sun in a year but the other, quicker ones---
might test whether the 0.23725177 may turn to 0.23725178 later on.
