Numbers n such that prime(n+1) - prime(n) = phi(n).

COMMENTS
After 24, there are no more terms < 10^6. Are there any more terms?
This sequence is certainly finite and very likely complete; phi(n) is bounded below asymptotically by n/log log n * e^{-gamma}, while prime gaps are known to be bounded asymptotically above by p^{1/3} ~ (n log n)^(1/3). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jul 27 2006
EXAMPLE
Prime(13) - prime(12) = 41 - 37 = 4 = phi(12), so 12 belongs to the sequence.
