A100564 Normal sequence of primes with p(1) = 3. A sequence {p(1), p(2), p(3), ... } is called a "normal sequence of primes" if p(1) is prime and if for every n > 1 p(n) is the smallest prime greater than p(n-1) such that the primes p(1), p(2), ..., p(n-1) are not divisors of p(n)-1. The existence of the primes p(n) is guaranteed by Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions. +0

EXAMPLE

p(2) = 5 because p(1) = 3 is not a divisor of 4 = 5 - 1.

p(3) = 17 because p(1) = 3 is a divisor of 6 and 12 (so 7 and 13 are not possible for p(3)); p(2) = 5 is a divisor of 10 (so 11 is not possible for p(3)), but p(1) = 3 and p(2) = 5 both not divisors of 16 = 17 - 1.
