%N Numbers n such that floor(sqrt(1)) + floor(sqrt(2)) + floor(sqrt(3)) + ... + floor(sqrt(n)) is prime.

%C The sequence is complete. Indeed, let s(n) be the sum of floor(sqrt(k)) for k from 1 to n. It is easy to verify that s(n^2+j), for 0 <= j < (n+1)^2-n^2, is equal to n(j+1) + n(4n+1)(n-1)/6, which is always divisible by n or by n/6 for n > 6. - _Giovanni Resta_, Mar 26 2014

%e 2 is a term because floor(sqrt(1))+floor(sqrt(2)) = 1+1 = 2 is prime;

%e 14 is a term because floor(sqrt(1))+ ... +floor(sqrt(14)) = 1+1+1+2+2+2+2+2+3+3+3+3+3+3 = 31 is prime.
