%N a(n) = beginning of a run of at least n primes when x -> 3*x - 2 is iterated.

%C For n > 4, a(n) == 1 (mod 10).

%e a(4) = 5 because 5 is the beginning of 4 primes in succession: 5, 3*5 - 2 = 13 is prime, 3*13 - 2 = 37 is prime, 3*37 - 2 = 109 is prime.

%t c[p_] := Block[{k=1, q = 3 p - 2}, While[PrimeQ[q], q = 3 q - 2; k++]; k]; a[n_] := Block[{p=2}, While[c[p] < n, p = NextPrime[p]]; p]; Array[a, 7]

%o (PARI) a(n)={x=1;k=1;while(k==1,m=0;y=x;while(isprime(y),m++;if(m==n,k=x);y=3*y-2);x++);k;}
