COMMENTS
Sum of 5 consecutive squares starting with n^2 is equal to 5*(6 + 4*n + n^2) and mean is (6 + 4*n + n^2) = (n+2)^2 + 2. Hence a(n) = A067201(n+2).
Also, numbers n such that A000217(n) + A000217(n+3) is prime. - Bruno Berselli, Apr 17 2013

EXAMPLE
(1^2 + ... + 5^2)/5 = 11, which is prime;
(7^2 + ... + 11^2)/5 = 83, which is prime;
(13^2 + ... + 17^2)/5 = 227, which is prime.
