While poking around at this, I came across A075321,A075322, and A075323.
These are based on "pair the odd primes so that the k-th pair is (p, p+2k)"
The three sequences are the first in the pair, the second in the pair, and
the pairs in order.

As I read the description, every term should be prime.  However, when I look
at the sequence, I see 45, 55, 99, 115, 169, 201, 235, all of which are
composite.  Are the sequences wrong, or does the definition need to be cleaned
up?
