A247384 Find the first (maximal) string of consecutive primes of length exactly n which alternate between 4*k+1 and 4*k+3 or 4*k+3 and 4*k+1 as in A002144(4*n+1) and A002145(4*n+3). The first element is a(n). 3

FORMULA
a(n) = A289118(n) if and only if n > 1 and A289118(n) < A289118(n+1). - Jonathan Sondow, Jun 27 2017
EXAMPLE
a(4)=23 because 23,29,31,37 alternate 4*n+3,4*n+1,4*n+3,4*n+1 for exactly four primes and 23 is the least prime for a string of exactly four.
MAPLE
