pr=primes(100);
for pno=1:length(pr)
  for qno=1:length(pr)
    p=pr(pno);
    q=pr(qno);
    if isprime(p+6) && isprime(p+10)
      if isprime(q+4) && isprime(q+10)
        if isprime(p+q+1)
          disp([p q])
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

     p     q
     7     3
    13     3
    37     3
    97     3
    
A brute force program can be more objective, avoiding the assumption that all numbers involved need be under 100--only p and q themselves need to be.
