%C a(27) > 1.5*10^6. - _Matthias Baur_, Jan 16 2020

%C a(20) > 2*10^5. - _Robert Price_, Nov 23 2013

%C Primes resulting from a(1)-a(19) are confirmed primes (not probable primes) using BLS (N-1/N+1) test in pfgw. - _Robert Price_, Nov 23 2013

%C From _Matthias Baur_, Jan 16 2020: (Start)

%C Double checked to n=2*10^5, tested further to n=1.5*10^6 using the sieve programs newpgen and srsieve and using Jean Penné's LLR application (BLS (N-1/N+1) test).

%C a(20) was already known in 2005, but was not listed here until 2018 (see Prime Pages link). (End)
