%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 69, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 71 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (550*10^n + 71)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 6 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 1 followed by digit 9 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 952 are certified primes.
