%N a(n) is the smallest number > a(n-1) such that 1 + a(1)^3 + a(2)^3 + ... + a(n)^3 is a prime.

%C The corresponding primes are 2, 29, 541, 2269, 8101, 18749, 32573,...

%e a(1) = 1 because 1 + 1^3 = 2 is prime;

%e a(2) = 3 because 1 + 1^3 + 2^3 = 10 is not prime, but 1 + 1^3 + 3^3 = 29 is prime;

%e a(3) = 8 because 1 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 = 93, 1 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 = 154, 1 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 6^3 = 245, and 1 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 7^3 = 372 are all nonprime, but 1 + 1^3 + 3^3 + 8^3 = 541 is prime.
