Comments

Here prime(n)# denotes the primorial A002110(n), i.e., the product of the first n primes. Terms a(n) are often (but not always) prime; out of the first fifty terms, only one (a(6)=323) is composite.

The definition is similar to Fortunate numbers (A005235); however, in A005235 the primorial is not raised to the n-th power. Unlike this sequence, all known Fortunate numbers are prime.

Example

(prime(2)#)^2=36. a(2)=5 because 5 is the minimal m>1 such that m+36 is prime.
