%C Numbers so far are all congruent to 19 mod 24. - _Ralf Stephan_, Jul 07 2003

%C All terms are congruent to 19 mod 24. - _Jianing Song_, Feb 17 2019

%C Also a(n) is the least prime r congruent to 3 mod 8 such that the first n odd primes are quadratic nonresidues modulo r. Note that r == 3 (mod 8) implies 2 is a quadratic nonresidue modulo r. See A001992 for the case where r == 5 (mod 8). - _Jianing Song_, Feb 19 2019
