I think this is an interesting sequence because it yields (the second of)
any subsequence of at least 3 terms (consecutive SG primes) in arithmetic
progression, and so it may also serve to find longer subsequences of AP's
within SG primes (namely when the distance to the next term is equal to the
gap for the given triple, as is the case for 3329, 3359 which are at
distance of 30, equal to "their" gap).
(Remarkably enough, {3329,3359} are also both the lesser of a twin prime
pair and also have prime(p)+2 prime and appear as consecutive terms in a
few other sequences <https://oeis.org/search?q=3329%2C+3359> !)
