EXAMPLE
a(1) + a(2) = 1 + 13 = 14 whose sopf is 2 + 7 = 9, a composite;
a(2) + a(3) = 13 + 2 = 15 whose sopf is 3 + 5 = 8, a composite;
a(3) + a(4) = 2 + 12 = 14 whose sopf is 2 + 7 = 9, a composite;
a(4) + a(5) = 12 + 3 = 15 whose sopf is 3 + 5 = 8, a composite;
a(13) + a(14) = 7 + 14 = 21 whose sopf is 3 + 7 = 10, a composite; etc.
