%N a(1)=1. For n > 1, a(n) = the smallest positive integer not included earlier such that the n-th partial sum is n times a prime.

%C Equivalently, for n > 1, a(n) is the smallest number not already in the sequence such that the arithmetic mean of the first n terms is prime. - _Derek Orr_, Jun 26 2015

%C Conjectured not to be a permutation of the natural numbers. The numbers that have not been used before the 2000th term: 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, ... - _Derek Orr_, Jun 26 2015
