Line 24 ⟶ 27:
:: I was going to add a twin prime task (and cousin prime task, a difference of four), but was somewhat preempted with addition of the ''sexy prime'' task (a difference of six), so I dithered a bit. There are other named difference primes such as ''devil'' (also called ''beast''), ''centennial'', and ''millennial'' primes. However, having a Rosetta Code task just for twin primes would make the code a lot cleaner and simpler, not to mention faster. This would've made the task solutions more easier to compare (and I think more useful for people who wanted a clean and robust code for just concerning the generation of twin primes). Plus it would be easier to find when people are looking for a simple twin prime generator. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:25, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
:: I googled my age, and found it to be ''highly totient''. And I'll never be ''highly totient''. again. Sigh. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Is the first solution for 6,4,2 not '''7,13,17,19'''?--[[User:CalmoSoft|CalmoSoft]] ([[User talk:CalmoSoft|talk]]) 10:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
:No, because the next prime after 7 is 11. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 11:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
