A266224 Least x such that prime(n)*x+x+1 is a prime, or -1 if no such x exists. 1

%I #9 Jan 09 2016 14:14:14

%S 2,1,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,3,5,1,2,2,2,1,5,2,1,2,3,4,2,2,1,3,1,3,2,2,3,1,2,

%T 1,3,2,5,2,2,1,3,1,2,1,2,5,2,1,2,4,1,3,3,4,5,1,5,2,1,2,3,2,1,5,10,3,2,

%U 1,2,2,5,9,3,2,2,3,2,4,2,1,5,1,3,2,4,4

%N Least x such that prime(n)*x+x+1 is a prime, or -1 if no such x exists.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0.

%e 5*1+1+1=7 is a prime, therefore a(3)=1.

%e 7*1+1+1=9 is not a prime, but 7*2+2+1=17 is a prime, so a(4)=2.
