| Mar 31, 2014 at 20:01 | comment | added | Terry Tao | It's not just mod 6; there is a bias modulo every small prime. For instance, mod 5, a prime p is equal to 1,2,3,4 mod 5, and needs to avoid 2 mod 5 to have any chance to be a Sophie Germain prime (unless it actually is 2). But if p is a twin prime, it avoids 3 mod 5 (if it isn't actually 3), which slightly raises the chance that it is equal to 2 mod 5 instead. | |
