EXAMPLE
| a(1) = 2 as 2 has only one prime neighbor, 3 and 3-2 = 1, the first possible
record. a(2) = 3 because the sum of the distances (gaps) from 3 to its two
neighboring primes is 3-2 + 5-3 = 3 > 1, beating the previous record. a(5) = 23
because 23, with 29-19 = 10, is the smallest prime beating a(4) = 7's 11-5 = 6.
