For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 8 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 0 followed by the digits 87 is prime (see Example section).
a(29) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
3 is in this sequence because 8*10^3 + 87 = 887 is prime.

a(1) = 1, 167;
a(2) = 2, 887;
a(3) = 3, 8087;
a(4) = 6, 8000087;
a(5) = 7, 80000087; etc.
