COMMENTS
For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 8 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 3 followed by the digits 21 is prime (see Example section).
a(29) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because (25*10^2 - 37) / 3 = 821 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 1, 71;
a(2) = 2, 821;
a(3) = 7, 83333321;
a(4) = 17, 833333333333333321;
a(5) = 24, 8333333333333333333333321, etc.
