Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) is the first number that is the sum of two palindromic primes in exactly n ways.

%C a(n) is the least k such that there are exactly n numbers j <= k/2 where both j and k - j are in A002385.

%e a(5) = 1110 because 1110 = 181 + 929 = 191 + 919 = 313 + 797 = 353 + 757 = 383 + 727 is the sum of two palindromic primes in exactly 5 ways, and no smaller even number works.
