Comments

This sequence is motivated by the author's conjecture in the comments in A230040.

Conjecture: a(n) < 2*n for all n > 2.

Example

a(1) = 3 since 3 = 1 + 1 + 1, and 6*1-1=5 is a Sophie Germain prime.
a(7) = 10 since 10 = 1 + 2 + 7, and 6*1-1=5, 6*2-1=11, 6*7-1=41, 6*1*2-1=11, 6*1*7-1=41, 6*2*7-1=83 are Sophie Germain primes.
