Hello,

Trisections of this permutation of n:

1, 7, 21, 11, 23, 13,  5, 19, ...   permutation of odds (at rank 1, 4, 11, 6, ...)
2, 4, 14, 12, 20, 30, 26, 32, ...
8, 18, 6, 24, 10, 36, 16, 38, ... .

Compare to

1, 3,  5,  7,  9, 11, 13, ...
2, 4, 12, 14, 20, 26, 28, ...
6, 8, 10, 16, 18, 22, 24, ... .

Given positive integers a,b, there will always be infinitely many positive 
integers c such that a+b+c is prime but a+c is composite. In fact, let p,q 
be any distinct primes coprime to a+b and b respectively. Let d == - a 
p^(-1) mod q, and consider the numbers f(k) = d p + k p q for k >= 0. Since 
a + b + d p is coprime to p q, Dirichlet's theorem says a + b + f(k) is 
prime for infinitely many k. On the other hand, a + f(k) is divisible by q 
for all k.

Cheers,
Robert
