Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) = smallest prime p = z + x, where x is the n-th odd composite number not divisible by 5 and z is a multiple of 10.

%C Conjecture: for every odd (prime or nonprime) number x>=1 that is not a multiple of 5 there exists a prime p such that p = z + x; where z is a multiple of 10.

%e The first and second odd composite number not divisible by 5 are 9 and 21, thus 19 = 10 + 9 and 31 = 10 + 21 are the first and second term of the sequence.
