COMMENT

The next term consists of the first 16208 digits of Pi and is too large to show here (see A060421). Ed T. Prothro found this probable prime in 2001.

Michael Kleber (michael.kleber(AT)gmail.com) observes that a naive probabilistic argument suggests that the sequence is infinite. Jun 23 2004.
