what are contiguous prime numbers?

Question

apparently this question was used a test question to compare chatGBT to whatever the "other one" is ..

got me to thinking.

I suspect I am thinking of "contiguous" as sequential, which would limit the prime numbers I can think of to 2,3.

I believe the specific questions was "how many contiguous prime numbers add up to 100?"

so would say, 7 and 11 be contiguous primes?

thanks for your answer

Answer 1

the twin primes come to mind, like 11 and 13, 1 either side of an even number

5 and 7, 17 and 19,

41 and 43

getting close to 100, 41+43 = 84 maybe as close as twin primes get to 100

57 and 59? sum to 116, that's as close as 41+43, both off by 16

or maybe it's meant to add up more than 2 twin primes or any number of primes to get 100?

41 + 59 = 100? are 41 and 59 prime? seem to be.

go with 41 and 59

but there are 43, 47, and 53 primes" between them, making them less "contiguous" but still relatively close as primes go

2+3+5 + 12+36+41= 99, getting very close. gets you 2 points in horseshoes,
