%N Numbers k such that (10^k - 13)/3 is prime.

%C For k > 1, numbers such that k - 2 occurrences of the digit 3 followed by the digits 29 is prime (see Example section).

%C a(27) > 2 * 10^5. - Price

%C There are no odd multiples of 3 in this sequence. If k is an odd multiple of 3, then (10^k - 13)/3 is divisible by 7. The smallest even multiple of 3 in the sequence is 270. - _Alonso del Arte_, Dec 31 2017

%e 4 is in this sequence because (10^4 - 13)/3 = 3329 is prime.

%e Here is a listing of the initial terms and associated primes:

%e a(1) = 2, 29;

%e a(2) = 4, 3329;

%e a(3) = 5, 33329;

%e a(4) = 8, 33333329;

%e a(5) = 11, 33333333329; etc.
