For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 9 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 3 followed by the digits 91 is prime (see Example section).
a(35) > 3*10^5.
EXAMPLE
3 is in this sequence because (28*10^3 + 173)/3 = 9391 is prime.

a(1) = 0, 67;
a(2) = 1, 151;
a(3) = 2, 991;
a(4) = 3, 9391;
a(5) = 9, 9333333391, etc.
