COMMENTS

In other words, take the decimal expansion of pi, drop any digits greater than 4, omit the decimal point and look for prefixes in the resulting string which form base-4 primes.

Numbers n such that A065838(n) is prime.

The next term in the sequence, if it exists, is greater than 10000. - Nathaniel Johnston (nathaniel(AT)nathanieljohnston.com), Nov 15 2010

EXAMPLE

E.g. the first a(5) or 10 quaternary digits of pi are 31.12332323{4} and 3112332323{4} is the prime 880571{10}.

MATHEMATICA

p = First[ RealDigits[ Pi, 10, 10^5]]; p = p[[ Select[ Range[10^5], p[[ # ]] == 0 || p[[ # ]] == 1 || p[[ # ]] == 2 || p[[ # ]] == 3 & ]]]; Do[ If[ PrimeQ[ FromDigits[ Take[p, n], 4]], Print[ n]], {n, 1, 4000} ]
