Write a(n) as a four-bit number; those bits state whether 10n+1, 10n+3, 10n+7 and 10n+9 are primes.

Binary encoding of the prime-ness of the 4 integers r+10*n with remainder r=1, 3, 7 or 9. Classify the 4 integers 10n+r with r= 1, 3, 7, or 9, as nonprime or prime and associate bit positions 3=MSB,2,1,0=LSB with the 4 remainders in that order. Raise the bit if 10n+r is prime, erase it if 10n+r is nonprime. The sequence interprets the 4 bits as a number in base 2. a(n) is the decimal representation, obviously in the range 0<=a(n)<16. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Jun 10 2008

EXAMPLE
For n=2, the 4 numbers 21 (r=1), 23 (r=3), 27 (r=7), 29 (r=9) are nonprime, prime, nonprime, prime, which is rendered into 0101 = 2^0 + 2^2 = 5 = a(2).
These two hexadecimal lines represent the primes between 10 and 1010:
