	I am confused about this sequence.  It states that it comprises
numbers that "cannot be prefixed or followed by any digit to form a
prime."  One of its terms, e.g., is 25213, but 252139 is a prime.  Is
the definition wrong, or unclear, or is it simply that the term is
wrong?  If I treat the "or" in the definition as exclusive, so that
prepending digits is one test and appending digits is a separate test, I
generate lots of terms that aren't in the sequence.

The contributor did not specify for which n this has to hold.

Obviously the inequality cannot hold for n=1, since the rhs is 0 and
the lhs nonnegative.
