Formula

a(n) = Sum_{x=prime(n+1)-prime(n)..prime(n+2)-prime(n)} x = Sum_{x=A001223(n)..A031131(n)} x.

Example

n = 1: prime(1) = 2, prime(2) = 3, prime(3) = 5. Sum of all numbers from prime(2)-prime(1) = 1 to prime(3)-prime(1) = 3 is 1+2+3, hence a(1) = 6.
n = 11: prime(11) = 31, prime(12) = 37, prime(13) = 41. Sum of all numbers from prime(12)-prime(11) = 6 to prime(13)-prime(11) = 10 is 6+7+8+9+10, hence a(11) = 40.
