Lillie's conjecture on primorial twin prime pairs

Let pnp_n be the nn-th prime and define the primorial by

pn#=i=1npi.p_n\#=\prod_{i=1}^{n}p_i.

A primorial twin prime pair is a pair (pn#1,pn#+1)(p_n\#-1,p_n\#+1) in which both numbers are prime.

Lillie's conjecture. The total expected number of primorial twin prime pairs is approximately three.

The paper gives evidence that n=2,3,5n=2,3,5 yield the three such pairs, namely the instances suggested by the heuristic estimate.
