Define sp(k,n) to be the sum of n^3 consecutive primes starting at prime(k). Then a(n) is the least number k such that sp(k,n) is a cube, or -1 if no such number exists.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 2704 because sp(k,2) at k = 2794 is prime(2704) + prime(2705) + ... + prime(2704 + 2^3 - 1) = 24359 + 24371 + ... + 24419 = 195112 = 58^3, a cube, and no smaller k has this property.
a(3) = 74 because sp(k,3) at k = 74 is prime(74) + prime(75) + ... + prime(74 + 3^3 - 1) = 373 + 379 + ... + 541 = 12167 = 23^3, a cube, and no smaller k has this property.
