%N A268608 a(n) is the least m > 1 such that (prime(n)#)^n - m is prime.
%C A268608 Here prime(n)# denotes the primorial A002110(n), i.e., the product of the first n primes. a(1) is not defined (there are no primes less than 2).
%C A268608 The definition is similar to Lesser Fortunate numbers (A055211) - but here primorials A002110(n) are raised to the n-th power.
%C A268608 Similar to Fortunate numbers (A005235) and Lesser Fortunate numbers (A055211), the first fifty terms are all prime. (Cf. A263925 where the 6th term is composite.)
%e A268608 a(2)=5 because m=5 is the least m > 1 such that A002110(2)^2 - m is prime.
%o A268608 (PARI) a(n)=my(s=prod(i=1, n, prime(i))^n); s-precprime(s-2)
%Y A268608 Cf. A002110, A005235, A055211, A264050, A263925, A268607.
