OK, I'm confused...
The task description is not very clear, what are the "successive terms" ?
My reading of the definition agrees with the Pascal output for "next increasing prime gap".
I can see why the sequence might be 3-5, 5-11, 11-19, etc. but I don't see why that is what the task requires.
Also, the Ring entry shows: 3-5, 11-19, 29-41, etc. i.e. 5-11 is not present.
Can anyone explain this?
BTW, I showed this to someone else and they suggested the answer was "2" because this is the smallest prime...
