Problems & Puzzles: Conjectures Conjecture 92. For any integer m there is at least one set of consecutive primes... Paola Lava sent on March 2022, the following conjecture: Conjecture For any integer m there is at least one set of n>1, consecutive primes p_1, p_2, …, p_n such that the sum of every two consecutive primes in this set is divisible by m. E.g. m=5 The first least sets for n from 2 to 10 are: 2+3=5 and 5/5=1 3   [43, 47, 53] 43+47=90 and 90/5=18; 47+53=100 and 100/5=20. 4   [157, 163, 167, 173] 157+163=320 and 320/5=64; 163+167=330 and 330/5=66; 167+173=340 and 340/5=68. And so on … 5   [3593, 3607, 3613, 3617, 3623] 6   [6037, 6043, 6047, 6053, 6067, 6073] 7   [32633, 32647, 32653, 32687, 32693, 32707, 32713] 8   [32633, 32647, 32653, 32687, 32693, 32707, 32713,
