%N a(1) = 2; a(n+1) is obtained by trying to change just one digit of a(n), starting with the least significant digit, until a new prime is reached.
%C Take the lexicographically earliest sequence, subject to the rules that the leftmost digit must be replaced by a nonzero digit, the other digits by any digit.
%C It is not known if the sequence is infinite.
%C The sequence is finite with last term a(17115) = 3377464733, see links for illustration. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 20 2011
%C Zumkeller's demonstration of finiteness is false if some other leading 0 rather than the immediate leading 0 can be replaced, otherwise a(17116) = 203377464733 (cf. also A059498). - _Sean A. Irvine_, Sep 25 2022
