COMMENTS
For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 9 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 5 followed by the digits 19 is prime (see Example section).
a(25) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because (86*10^2 - 329)/9 = 919 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 1, 59;
a(2) = 2, 919;
a(3) = 7, 95555519;
a(4) = 22, 95555555555555555555519;
a(5) = 50, 955555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555519; etc.
