%N Starting with Fibonacci(0), the sum of a(n) successive Fibonacci numbers is prime.

%C a(22), if it exists, is bigger than 60300.

%C The sequence with corresponding primes begins: 2, 2, 3, 5, 131, 89, 2351, 1597, 42187, 28657, 14855327, 7763811697. The prime corresponding to a(21) = 5269 has 1729 decimal digits.
