[seqfan] Re: Sums of three Mersenne primes, and prime sums of three Mersenne primes

[Jonathan Post]

Sums of five Mersenne primes can also be prime (though, obviously sums
of an even number of Mersenne primes are even).

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 7 = 19
3 + 3 + 3 + 7 + 7 = 23
3 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 31
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 31 = 43
3 + 3 + 3 + 7 + 31 = 47
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 31 = 59
3 + 3 + 3 + 31 + 31 = 71
3 + 7 + 7+ 31 + 31 = 79

This sequence 19, 23, 31, 43, 47, 59, 71, 79, ...
is not in OEIS.

Hence it was not arbitrary to first look at sums of three Mersenne
Primes, and the subsequence of primes within that.

I neglected to mention the analogy to:
A155877  	Sums of three Fermat numbers.
A166484  	Prime sums of three Fermat numbers.
