%N Primorial - 1 prime indices: integers m such that the m-th primorial minus 1 is prime.

%C There are two versions of "primorial": this is using the definition in A002110. - _Robert Israel_, Dec 30 2014

%C As of 28 February 2012, the largest known primorial prime is A002110(85586) - 1 with 476311 digits, found by the PrimeGrid project (see link). - _Dmitry Kamenetsky_, Aug 11 2015

%e The 6th primorial is A002110(6) = 2*3*5*7*11*13 = 30030, and 30030 - 1 = 30029 is a prime, so 6 is in the sequence.
