%N a(n) = least integer m>1 such that m divides none of S_i!+S_j! with 0<i<j<=n where S_k is the sum of the first k primes.

%C When n>1, we have S_n!+S_{n-1}!=0 (mod m) for all m=1,...,S_{n-1} and hence a(n)>S_{n-1}. Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n) is always a prime not exceeding S_n.

%e We have a(3)=7, since m=7 divides none of 2!+(2+3)!,2!+(2+3+5)!,(2+3)!+(2+3+5)! but this fails for m=2,3,4,5,6.
