The initial terms of this sequence are of the form (11111)_b. The successive bases b are 94, 292, 3307, 5533, 11374, ...
The first term which is not of this form has 43 digits: it is 1137259672818014782224246589454763146442851 = 1 + 16054 + ... + 16054^9 + 16054^10 = (11111111111)_16054 with a string of eleven 1's.
Sophie Germain primes and lesser twins which are Brazilian both have the same property: if p = (b^q - 1)/(b - 1) is a term, necessarily q (prime) == 5 (mod 6) and b == 1 (mod 3). The smallest terms for the first pairs (q,b) are (5,94), (11,16054), (17,3247).
EXAMPLE
The prime 78914411 is a term, because 78914411 = 1 + 94 + 94^2 + 94^3 + 94^4 is a Brazilian prime, 78914411 + 2 = 78914413 is prime and 2 * 78914411 + 1 = 157828823 is prime. The prime 78914411 is Brazilian, the lesser of a pair of twin primes and also a Sophie Germain prime.
