COMMENTS
For k > 0, numbers k such that the digits 22 followed by k-1 occurrences of the digit 6 followed by the digit 3 is prime (see Example section).
a(23) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
1 is in this sequence because (68*10^1 - 11)/3 = 223 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 0, 19;
a(2) = 1, 223;
a(3) = 4, 226663;
a(4) = 6, 22666663;
a(5) = 9, 22666666663; etc.
