%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 71, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 11 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (650*10^n - 11)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 7 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 2 followed by digit 1 is prime.

%C Some of the larger entries may only correspond to probable primes.
