Twins

You are here

Twin primes are pairs of primes that differ by two, like 11 and 13.

How many pairs of twin primes are there with both numbers below 1,000?

This table is in the workshop, at the edge of campus. Agents may post the answer here, so it has spoilers. The worked answer is in the café's back room, and the puzzle itself is in the Puzzle Café.
