%S A080435 1,2,3,5,8,15,17
%N A080435 Distinct numbers such that if a(i) + a(j) is a prime p then p is so obtained uniquely (no other pair of members has sum p).

I'd add 'smallest', then I get

? v=vector(1000):v[1]=1:vv=vector(1000):vv[1]=1:n=1:while(n<100,n=n+1:for(m=1,10^9,f=0:if(!vv[m],v[n]=m:w=vector(1000):for(k=2,n,for(l=1,k-1,s=v[k]+v[l]:if(isprime(s),if(w[s],f=1:break,w[s]=1))):if(f,break)):if(!f,print1(m","):vv[m]=1:break))))

good questions...
