I wrote about this observation at Mathematics Stack Exchange, and basically it is the weirdest thing I have seen so far, but finally it is based on probabilities as one fellow at MSE explained!
Take the set of Primitive Roots Modulo p (link to definition here) of a prime number p, Pr(p). For those primes p > 61 there is always a pair of primitive roots r1 and r2 in Pr(p) whose sum is the next prime to the current prime p, I will call it N(p).
I have tested this with Python, in the interval
For p∈[1,61] there are only five counterexamples: {2,3,5,7,61} and for the rest of primes the observation is true as well.
