[seqfan] Re: Edit of A155030

[Sean A. Irvine]

I agree the description is very hard to follow.
However, I don't think 2 should be in A155030 and I think it is different
to A155025.

n=2=prime, prime(2)=3, concatenation is 23 = prime, hence not in A155030.

Similarly,

n=23=prime, prime(23)=83, concatenation is 2383 = prime, hence not in A155030.

But it does look like 19 should be in

n=19=prime, prime(19)=67, concatenation 1967 = composite, 19 should be in A155030.
