COMMENTS
Numbers n such that (120*10^n + 33)/9 is prime.
Numbers n such that digit 1 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 3 followed by digit 7 is prime.
Numbers corresponding to terms <= 886 are certified primes.
Next term after 7683 is greater than 10000. - Ryan Propper, Jul 01 2005

FORMULA
a(n) = A102932(n+1) - 1. - Robert Price, Nov 15 2014
EXAMPLE
137 is prime, hence 1 is a term.
