%N A075051 Smallest prime for which the n closest primes are smaller.
%C A075051 It is surprising that few of the above entries are at the beginning of a prime gap in A000230 or A002386.
%e A075051 The smallest prime number for which the three closest primes to itself are all smaller than itself is 113 (the closest primes being 109, 107 and 103). So a(3)=113.
