%N A307603 Lexicographically earliest sequence with no duplicate term that produces only primes by the rounding technique explained in the Comments section.
%C A307603 See the assembly [a(n),a(n+1)] as a decimal number. Round this number to the closest integer. All rounded assemblies will produce a prime number.
%C A307603 "Rounding to the closest integer" is ambiguous for decimal numbers like (k.5) where k is an integer. Here we round such numbers to be rounded to k+1. The only occurrence of such a "rounding ambiguity" in the sequence happens with a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 5. Indeed, no more (k.5) "dilemmas" like that one will ever occur again as the integers 50, 500, 5000,... (that might produce together with the previous term k the decimal number k.50 or k.500 or k.5000...) cannot be part of the sequence; this is because 50, 500, 5000,... are not primes themselves (they end with 0) and neither are 51, 501, 5001,... (they are divisible by 3).
