%N a(n) is the least k such that k*((prime(n)#)^2)-1 is prime, where prime(n)# is the n-th primorial.

%e 1*2^2-1 = 3 prime, so a(1) = 1.

%e 1*((2*3)^2)-1 = 35 is composite, 2*((2*3)^2)-1 = 71 is prime, so a(2) = 2.

%e 1*((2*3*5)^2)-1 = 899 is composite, 2*((2*3*5)^2)-1 = 1799 is composite, 3*((2*3*5)^2)-1 = 2699 is prime, so a(3) = 3.
