[seqfan] Re: Prime hatred

[Robert Munafo]

Okay, after the joke reply and the 37 counterexample, I wrote a program to
calculate the sequence and I get:

1, 8, 6, 10, 14, 12, 4, 20, 16, 24, 18, 22, 28, 26, 34, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42,
46, 38, 44, 52, 48, 54, 50, 58, 56, 62, 64, 60, 66, 68, 72, 70, 74, 80, 76,
78, 86, 82, 84, 90, 92, 94, 88, 98, 96, 104, ...

I am using the definition "The lexicographically first sequence of natural
numbers such that no set of consecutive sequence members adds to a prime,
and no number occurs in the sequence more than once."

If you remove the "no number occurs in the sequence more than once" part, I
get:

1, 8, 6, 6, 4, 8, 6, 6, 4, 6, 8, 6, 6, 6, 4, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 6, 4,
8, 4, 8, 6, 6, 4, 6, 8, 4, 8, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 4, 8, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8,
...

Neither of these seems to be in OEIS at present.
