(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A085090 Starting with n+(n-1) go on adding n-2, then n-3, etc. until one gets a prime; a(n) = smallest prime in n+(n-1)+(n-2)+...+(n-i) (with the least i that gives a prime), or 0 if no such prime exists. 3

FORMULA

If 2n-1 is prime then a(n) = 2n-1, otherwise a(n) = 0. - David Wasserman (wasserma(AT)spawar.navy.mil), Jan 25 2005

a(A098090(n)-1)=2*A098090(n)-3; a(n)=(2*n-1)*A101264(n-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Sep 14 2006

EXAMPLE

a(8) = 0 as there is no prime in the partial sum of the finite sequence 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.

a(7) = 13 = 7 + 6.
