form an arithmetic progression. If for some
positive integer n the numbers n, 29n + 14,
and 41n + 20 were all primes, we would
have found a solution. Thus, we ought to
take consecutive odd primes for n and
check whether the numbers 29n + 14 and
41n + 20 are primes.
The least such number is n = 127 which
leads to the above solution. We cannot
claim, however, that in this manner we
obtain all triplets of primes with the
required properties.
