%N Smallest prime of the form n + (n+1)+ (n+2)+...+(n+k), or 0 if no such prime exists.

%C If n is prime a(n) = n, If n is not a prime but 2n+1 is a prime then a(n) = 2n+1 else a(n) = 0, as the difference of two triangular numbers is composite if the indices differ by more than 2. r(r+1)/2 - s(s+1)/2 is composite if r-s >2.
