Your task requirement of counting the number of twin primes is &nbsp; counter-exampled &nbsp; as your examples (instead) show the <br>'''number of twin prime pairs''' &nbsp; instead of the &nbsp; '''number of twin primes'''.
<br>The number of twin primes below &nbsp; '''10''' &nbsp; is &nbsp; '''3'''.
<br>The number of twin prime pairs, &nbsp; however, &nbsp; is &nbsp; '''2'''.
 
The examples shown in the preamble should be fixed to agree with the task's requirements, &nbsp; or, &nbsp; of course, &nbsp; the task's requirements could be changed.
This task has the same "problem/issue" as does any task concerning &nbsp; ''pairs'' &nbsp; of primes. &nbsp; Consider the limit of
&nbsp; '''42'''.
<br>Now, &nbsp; '''41''' &nbsp; is a twin prime &nbsp; (and should be counted), &nbsp; but &nbsp; '''43''' &nbsp; wouldn't be counted as it isn't under the &nbsp; '''42''' &nbsp; limit.
<br>As it happens, &nbsp; when the limit is specified and the twin primes don't bracket the specified limit, &nbsp; this issue won't be exposed.
<br>But not specifying a bracketed limit doesn't belie that the examples may have that error in their programs.
 
Also, some task authors like to add a &nbsp; ''stretch goal'' &nbsp; or &nbsp; ''extra credit'' &nbsp; task (optional) requirement(s).
<br>You could ask for limits of: &nbsp; &nbsp; '''10,000 &nbsp; &nbsp; 100,000 &nbsp; &nbsp; 1,000,000 &nbsp; &nbsp; 10,000,000'''.

::Hi, thanks for the help given for creating the task Twin Prime Conjecture. I have made changes including a challenge section and refined the description of the task to ask for the number of pairs of twin primes instead of the number of twin primes in bold.

:Thanks for the suggestion! Is there any way to view the image without redirecting to another site?
