%N A083522 Smallest k such that k*(k+1)*(k+2)*...*(k+n-1) + 1 is prime, or 0 if no such number exists.
%C A083522 The product of four consecutive integers + 1 is always composite (a square), so a(4) = 0. Are there any more zeros in the sequence?
%C A083522 Since rather large numbers (up to 193 digits) are encountered in the computation, the Pocklington-Lehmer "P-1" primality test is used, as implemented in PARI 2.1.3.
%e A083522 1*2*3*4*5 + 1 = 121 = 11*11 and 2*3*4*5*6 + 1 = 721 = 7*103 are composite, but 3*4*5*6*7 + 1 = 2521 is prime, so a(5) = 3.
