%N Least previously nonoccurring positive integer such that partial sum + 2 is prime.

%C The sequence is the union of {1} and a permutation of even positive integers. The corresponding partial sums + 1 are 3, 5, 11, 19, 23, 37, 47, 59, 79, 97, 113, 137, 163, 191, 223. See A084758. - _Zak Seidov_, Feb 10 2015
