If $p$ and $p + 2$ are (twin) primes, then $p + (p + 2)$ is divisible by $12$, where $p > 3$.

    Is this a question? Are you trying to prove this? I don't understand.2011-07-04

    @Gerry I think it may be some language thing. I don't know if it was deliberately intended as some sort of pun or something. But in Spanish and (after checking in google) Portuguese the word for cousin is "primo" which is also the word used for prime. I'm guessing that the OP is from Portugal or at least speaks Portuguese, from the website that is mentioned in his profile.2011-07-04

    I love it that "interesting" is part of the question. I think the idea is that *we* get to decide what's interesting by upvoting (or not...)2011-07-04

    @Gerry: If the parents of the twins were twins, then the twins are also cousins... or something?2011-07-04
