Slowest increasing sequence where 3 consecutive integers sum up to a prime.

In a string there can be at most two consecutive integers like 10,11 etc. More generally three consecutive terms can not be in A.P.

EXAMPLE

0+1+2=3, which is prime; 1+2+4=7=prime; 2+4+5=11=prime, etc.

MATHEMATICA

n1 = 0; n2 = 1; counter = 1; maxnumber = 10^4; Do[ If[PrimeQ[n1 + n2 + n], {sol[counter] = n; counter = counter + 1; n1 = n2; n2 = n}], {n, 2, maxnumber}]; Table[sol[j], {j, 1, counter}]\) - Ben Ross (bmr180(AT)psu.edu), Jan 29 2006
