%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 29, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 41 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (220*10^n + 41)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 2 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 4 followed by digit 9 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 498 are certified primes.
