COMMENTS

First appearance of n in A122821.

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 38 because there are exactly four sets of consecutive primes which have means

of 38: {31,37,41,43}, {29,...,47}, {23,...,53} and {2,...,83},

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)= m=2; starting_index=1; k=starting_index; sum_of_primes=0; prime_count=0; sets=0; until( (prime(starting_index)>m) && (sets==n), if( (prime(starting_index)> m) || (sets>n), m++; sets=0; starting_index=1; k=starting_index); sum_of_primes=sum_of_primes+prime(k); prime_count++; mean=sum_of_primes/ prime_count; if(mean<m, k++, sum_of_primes=0; prime_count=0; starting_index++; k=starting_index; if(mean==m, sets++))); return(m)} (from Rick L.
