Consider the sequence {b(n)}, such that b(1)=2, b(2)=3, and for n>=3, b(n)=a(n-2). We conjecture that, if we apply the Eratosthenes-like sieve to b(n) and remove 1's, then we obtain a sequence of primes. Peter J. C. Moses noted that these primes follow with some perturbation of order. For example, 73 appears before 71. Similarly, 101 and 103 appear before 97.
