:: I was going to add a twin prime task   (and cousin prime task, a difference of four),   but was somewhat preempted with addition of the   ''sexy prime''   task   (a difference of six),   so I dithered a bit.   There are other named difference primes such as   ''devil''   (also called   ''beast''),   ''centennial'',   and   ''millennial''   primes.   However, having a Rosetta Code task just for twin primes would make the code a   lot   cleaner and simpler,   not to mention faster.   This would've made the task solutions more easier to compare   (and I think more useful for people who wanted a clean and robust code for just concerning the generation of twin primes).   Plus it would be easier to find when people are looking for a simple twin prime generator.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:25, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 
:: I googled my age, and found it to be   ''highly totient''.     And I'll never be   ''highly totient''.   again.   Sigh.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
