Polynomial whose values divide $n!$

Here is a completely elementary proof, inspired by Pasten's comments. Let $P(n)=an^2+bn+c$. Take $n=a^5x^4+2a^3(ab+2a+1)x^3+a(2a^3c+a^2b^2+6a^2b+3ab+6a^2+5a+1)x^2+(ab+2a+1)(2a^2c+2ab+b+2a+1)x+a^3c^2+2 …

Prime square offsets: Why is +7 more frequent than -7?

Modulo 6 the squares are 0,1,4,3,4,1 and the squares+7 (or -5) can only be 1,2,5,4,5,2, of which 3/6 can at all be prime. The squares-7 (or +5) are 5,0,3,2,3,0 of which only 1/6 can be prime. Obviousl …

What can one say about $\sum\limits_{i=1}^\infty \frac{1}{p_{i+1}^2-p_i^2}$?

Denoting by $p_i$ the $i$-th prime, is it known that $\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^\infty \frac{1}{p_{i+1}^2-p_i^2}$ converges? Can one compute a few digits based on euristic considerations or plausible c …
