%N Record primes reached in A052333.
%C Start with n=1, take 2n+1, if composite take 2n+1 again, keep going until you reach a prime. Repeat for n=2, 3... If prime is a record, add to sequence. If never reach a prime, skip that value of n.
%C a(13) is a 771-digit prime reached after 2552 iterations starting from 73. - _Warut Roonguthai_. This was proved to be a prime by Paul Jobling (Paul.Jobling(AT)WhiteCross.com) using PrimeForm and by _Ignacio Larrosa Cañestro_ using Titanix (http://www.znz.freesurf.fr/pages/titanix.html).
