%N A177956 Smallest k > 0 such that k^prime(n) - prime(n) is prime.
%e A177956 1^prime(1)-prime(1) = 1^2-2 = -1 is not prime, but 2^prime(2)-prime(2) = 2^2-2 = 2 is prime, hence a(1) = 2.
%e A177956 k^prime(4)-prime(4) is not prime for k < 60, but 60^prime(4)-prime(4) = 60^7-7 = 2799359999993 is prime, hence a(4) = 60.
