%N a(1)=5, a(n) is the smallest prime dividing 4*Q^2 + 1 where Q is the product of all previous terms in the sequence.

%C Removed redundant mod(p,4) = 1 criterion from definition. By quadratic reciprocity, all factors of 1 + 4Q^2 are congruent to 1 (mod 4). See comments at the end of the b-file for an additional eight terms not proved, but nevertheless highly likely to be correct. - _Daran Gill_, Mar 23 2013
