COMMENTS

No sum of a continuous subsequence is ever prime. Is every integer used? Can an odd number ever be surrounded by two even numbers (and similarly for even numbers)?

EXAMPLE

a(4)=7 because 7 is the smallest unused number such that 1+3+5+x, 3+5+x and 5+x are all composite

PROG

(PARI) { checkprime(a, b)=local(fl); fl=0; for (i=1, b-1, if (isprime(a+s[i]), fl=1; break)); if (fl==0, for (j=1, b-1, if (a==p[j], fl=1; break))); fl } { p=vector(300); p[1]=1; pc=2; while (pc<300, x=1; s=vector(300); for (i=1, pc-1, s[i]=sum(k=i, pc-1, p[k])); i=1; while (checkprime(x, pc), x++); p[pc]=x; pc++); p }
