%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 61, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 31 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (580*10^n - 31)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 6 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 4 followed by digit 1 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 612 are certified primes.
