Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
Generate the prime sequence with primes labeled 1 mod 4 or 3 mod 4. Add count of primes to sequence if just one prime occurs before interruption by a prime congruent to 3 mod 4.
EXAMPLE
a(3)=31 because 31 single primes occur below 10^3, each interrupted in the run by a prime congruent to 3 mod 4.
