%N Primes p with p-1, p+1, prime(p)-1 and prime(p)+1 all practical.

%C Conjecture: The sequence contains infinitely many terms. In other words, there are infinitely many prime numbers p such that {p-1, p, p+1} and {prime(p)-1, prime(p), prime(p)+1} are both "sandwiches of the first kind" (A210479).

%e a(1) = 3 since 3 is prime with 3-1, 3+1, prime(3)-1 = 4 and prime(3)+1 = 6 all practical.

%e a(3) = 31 since 31 is prime with 31-1, 31+1, prime(31)-1 = 126 and prime(31)+1 = 128 all practical.
