Conjecture: a(n) ~ 10^n / (64 log 10 * n). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 24 2011
FORMULA
Generate the prime sequence with primes labeled 1 mod 4 or 3 mod 4. Add count of primes to sequence if just 4 primes occur before interruption by a prime congruent to 3 mod 4.
EXAMPLE
a(5)=124 because 124 sets of 4 primes occur below 10^5, each run interrupted by a prime congruent to 3 mod 4.
