COMMENT

If a(n) is a high-water mark of this sequence, then A057331(a(n)) is the first term of the first Cunningham sequence of length a(n). For example, a(10)=6 is a high-water mark of this sequence and A057331(a(10))=89 is the first term of the first Cunningham sequence of length 6.

EXAMPLE

a(10)=6 because 89, the 10th Sophie Germain prime, is the first term of the Cunningham chain 89, 179, 359, 719, 1439, 2879, which consists of 6 terms.
