I memorized all primes up to 127. and with a bit of effort I may come up with all the primes up to 307 (then 311,313, iirc) but I need pen and paper to double check.

the problem is that I don't know why do this.

nonetheless I can report that I've memorized 3 instances of two consecutive twin primes

11,13,17,19, then 101,103,107,109 (which just raises questions that I can only aspire to ask, nevermined answering, about the what, why, and how of decimal system),

and then 191,193,197,199. the next prime is 211. but the cool thing is how 210 = 2*3*5*7, which are all primes before the first double twin prime
