%N Least prime that ends a complete Cunningham chain (of the first kind) of length n.
%C "Complete" means that this chain is not part of a longer Cunningham chain of the first kind.
%C Next term is greater than 4*10^17.

%e 41->83->167 is a Cunningham chain of the first kind. It is complete because neither (41-1)/2 nor 2*167+1 is prime. It is the first such chain of three primes, so a(3) = 167.
