No, there are no other even prime numbers.

And an odd number + or - 3 is always even

Oh, dude, prime numbers are like the cool kids of the number world, they're loners who only hang out with themselves. So, no, prime numbers other than 2 and 5 can never be 3 apart because they're too busy being all prime and stuff. It's like trying to get a cat to walk on a leash - just not gonna happen.

No, prime numbers other than 2 and 5 cannot be 3 apart. This is because any Prime number greater than 3 will always be in the form of either 6n+1 or 6n-1, where n is a positive integer. Since 6n and 6n+2 are divisible by 2, and 6n+3 is divisible by 3, the only possibility left for prime numbers to be 3 apart is 6n-1 and 6n+2, which is not possible for prime numbers.

Well, honey, prime numbers are like diamonds - rare and precious. But in this case, they're a bit more picky. Prime numbers other than 2 and 5 can never be 3 apart. That's just the way the math cookie crumbles, darling.
