a(14) > 1.8*10^14. - Giovanni Resta, Jun 07 2017
EXAMPLE
Vacuously, the sum of every three consecutive members of {2, 3} is prime, so a(2) = 2. a(4) = 5 because 5 + 7 + 11 and 7 + 11 + 13 are prime.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=if(n<3, return(2), n-=2); my(len=0, p=2, q=3); forprime(r=5, default(primelimit), if(isprime(p+q+r), if(len++==n, my(t=p); for(i=2, n, t=precprime(t-1)); return(t)), len=0); p=q; q=r) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 08 2012
