%N A385144 a(n) is the smallest 2*n + 1 digit prime consisting of a string of 2*n - 1 identical digits d sandwiched between two same digits different from d, or -1 if no such prime exists.
%C A385144 If we replace 2*n - 1 with 2*n in the definition, all such numerical candidates become composite and divisible by 11.
%e A385144 a(1) = 101, because it contains one 0 that is flanked by two 1s, which are different from 0, and no smaller prime has this property.
