This is to Champernowne's constant 0.12345678910111213... (Sloane's A033307) as A073062 is to A033308 Decimal expansion of Copeland-Erdos constant: concatenate primes. [From Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Aug 25 2008]

EXAMPLE

Take 1234567891011121314151617....; a(4)=4567 because the first 4-digit prime in the sequence is 4567.

1213 is < 4567 but occurs later in the string.

a(5) = 67891 is the first occurrence of a five-digit substring that is a prime, 12345(67891)011121314...

a(1) = 2 = prime(1). a(2) = 23 = prime(9). a(3) = 571 = prime(105). a(4) = 2357 = prime(350). a(5) = 11131 = prime(1349). [From Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Aug 25 2008]
