%N Number of odd digits in n-th prime.

%C The only zero is the first term. Sequence is unbounded. - _Zak Seidov_, Jan 12 2016

%C From _Robert Israel_, Jan 12 2016: (Start)

%C For any N, the asymptotic density of terms >= N is 1.

%C On the other hand, a(n) = 2 if prime(n) is in A159352, which is conjectured to be infinite.

%C Record values: a(2) = 1, a(5) = 2, a(30) = 3, a(187) = 4, a(1346) = 5, a(10545) = 6, a(86538) = 7, a(733410) = 8.
