EXAMPLE
a(2) = 6353029 is prime. Next three primes are 6353033, 6353051 and 6353071. Their sum = 6353029 + 6353033 + 6353051 + 6353071 = 25412184 = 294^3.
a(3) = 8039333 is prime. Next three primes are 8039359, 8039363 and 8039377. Their sum = 8039333 + 8039359 + 8039363 + 8039377 = 32157432 = 318^3.
