Let g(i) = prime(i + 1) - prime(i). These are numbers k such that g(k) <= g(k + 1) <= g(k + 2).
EXAMPLE
The first 10 weakly increasing prime quartets:
2 3 5 7
3 5 7 11
17 19 23 29
41 43 47 53
43 47 53 59
79 83 89 97
107 109 113 127
149 151 157 163
163 167 173 179
197 199 211 223
For example, 43 is the 14th prime, and the primes (43,47,53,59) have differences (4,6,6), which are weakly increasing, so 14 is in the sequence.
