[seqfan] Re: Insert a "plus" sign to produce a prime

[Felix Fröhlich]

Hi Eric,

This is a nice sequence I think. Is the definition such that at least one
such prime must exist or do all numbers produced by all possible plus sign
insertions have to be prime. I assume the former, since in the case of 121,
1+21=22 is not prime. Maybe the definition could be made a bit more precise.

Best,

Felix
