%N Smallest primes p = p(k) with (p(k)+p(k+1)+p(k+2))/15 an integer.

%C (1) Denominator 15 = p(2)+ p(3)+ p(4) is sum of the first 3 consecutive odd primes.

%C (2) First three consecutive odd primes 3, 5, 7 are an exceptional case, because of p(k+1)=p(3)=5, no other prime has end digit 5.

%C (3) Four out of 19 possibilities for end digit permutations (which all "happen") of three consecutive primes p(k), p(k+1) and p(k+2) are permutations of (1,1,3), (1,7,7), (3,3,9) and (7,9,9), as sum of these digits has to be necessarily a multiple of 5.

%C (4) Note the "gap" for a(1) and a(2).

%e (1) 3 + 5 + 7 = 15 * 1 => a(1)=3 for k=2.

%e (2) 4691 + 4703 + 4721 = 14115 = 15 * 941 => a(2)=4691 for k=634.

%e (3) 6397 + 6421 + 6427 = 19245 = 15 * 1283 => a(3)=6397 for k=834.

%e (4) 8893 + 8923 + 8929 = 26745 = 15 * 1783 => a(5)=8893 for k=1108.

%e (5) 23339 + 23357 + 23369 = 70065 = 15 * 4671 => a(19)=23339 for k=2603.
