%N Numbers k such that 16*10^k + 1 is prime.

%C For k > 1, numbers k such that the digits 16 followed by k-1 occurrences of the digit 0 followed by the digit 1 is prime (see Example section).

%C a(31) > 10^5.

%e 4 is in this sequence because 16*10^4+1 = 160001 is prime.

%e Initial terms and associated primes:

%e a(1) = 0, 17;

%e a(2) = 2, 1601;

%e a(3) = 3, 16001;

%e a(4) = 4, 160001;

%e a(5) = 18, 16000000000000000001. etc.
