P.S. Generally:

Extended problem: Are there Riesel numbers k such that |k-2^n| is a Riesel
number for every n>0 ?
By the dual Riesel conjecture, these are odd integers k such that
|k-2^m-2^n| is composite for every m>=0 and n>=0.

Similar problem: Are there Sierpinski numbers k such that k+2^n is a
Sierpinski number for every n>0 ?
By the dual Sierpinski conjecture, these are odd integers k such that
k+2^m+2^n is composite for every m>=0 and n>=0.

The next step is to combine both of these problems, but the question of
whether such Brier numbers exist is premature.
