%N Smallest prime containing exactly n 3's.

%C For almost all n >= 0, a(n) equals [10^(n+1)/3] with one of the (first) digits 3 replaced by a digit 1 or 2. We conjecture that in the few other cases (e.g., for n = 12, 119, ...) the statement holds with some digit 3 replaced by a digit among {4, 5, 7, 8}, except for the special case a(1) = 3. - _M. F.
