[seqfan] Re: "Prime sums" of underlined neighbors

[Charles Greathouse]

I also think this is worth submitting (and I'm not usually one for
puzzle sequences).  It looks like 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 6, 5, 1, 12, 2, 15,
3, 1, 18, 6, ... works for the primes rather than the odd primes,
though it has them in order (so far and, I think, always) and lacks
the same structure as the other.
