[math-fun] Post-Xmas boring puzzle (count of zeros)
Hello Math-Fun, This puzzle is based on this (hopefully correct) draft: https://oeis.org/draft/A340063 (yes, 340063 is a prime) In the hereunder sequence, how many zeros are there between the first prime 2 and the 1000th prime 7919? Best, É. 2, 1, 3, 10, 100, 5, 20, 7, 4, 11, 110, 13, 12, 1000, 17, 200, 19, 21, 10000, 23, 6, 29, 1001, 31, 14, 100000, 37, 22, 41, 1010, 43, 30, 1000000, 47, 15, 53, 24, 59, 1100, 61, 32, 10000000, 67, 40, 71, 2000, 73, 102, 100000000, 79, 111, 1000000000, 83, 33, 89, 8, 97, 112, 101, 10001, 103, 120, 10000000000, 107,... Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive terms such that: 1/ the primes appear in their natural order 2/ the absolute difference between two successive primes is given by the sum of the digits between them.
https://oeis.org/A340063 Eric, as per my personal email to you (read it again), I think the sequence is currently correct only up to 73. "... how many zeros are there between the first prime 2 and the 1000th prime 7919?" I don't have a lot of confidence in my effort but I'll put a number out there in case anyone else tries this: I have 7919 as a(2392) and count 47643 zeros.
