%N Smallest prime containing exactly n 5's.

%C For n > 1, the last digit of n cannot be 5, therefore a(n) must have at least n+1 digits. It is probable that none among [10^n/9]*50 + {1,3,7,9} is prime in which case a(n) must have n+2 digits. We conjecture that for all n > 1, a(n) equals [10^(n+1)/9]*50 + b with 1 <= b <= 9 and one of the (first) digits 5 replaced by a 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. - _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 22 2016
