How many of me is there????????  Twins.........or the 3rd twin by Ken F.............




Twin Primes. In the list of primes it is sometimes true that consecutive odd numbers are both prime. We have boxed these twin primes in the following list of primes less than 100: 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23, 29 , 31 , 37 41 , 43 , 47, 53, 59 , 61 , 67, 71 , 73 , 79, 83, 89, 97. Are there infinitely many twin primes? That is, are there infinitely many prime numbers p such that p + 2 is also a prime? At present, no one knows the answer to this question.
