EXAMPLE
n=0: 23 is the smallest odd number without solutions: see A070774. For n=1, .., 8 the solutions are s1={3}, s2={41, 47}, s3={19, 23, 37}, s4={661, 769, 787, 811}, s5={1619, 1667, 1709, 1823, 1979}, s6={2777, 2843, 2851, 2861, 2897, 3251}, s7={439, 443, 449, 457, 487, 557, 593}, s8={1621, 1637, 1699, 1723, 1741, 1777, 1811, 1987}, expressed in terms of p(x) primes; either values of x and 2x indices or p(2x) are further computable. Odd numbers a(n) forming sequence corresponds to values of p(2x)-2p(x). E.g. p[2*Pi[s4]]=p[2x]={1531, 1747, 1783, 1831} and p[2x]-2p[x]]={209, 209, 209, 209} gives a(4)=209.
