MATHEMATICA
NextPrime[ n_Integer ] := Module[ {k = n + 1}, While[ ! PrimeQ[ k ], k++ ]; Return[ k ] ]; PrevPrime[ n_Integer ] := Module[ {k = n - 1}, While[ ! PrimeQ[ k ], k-- ]; Return[ k ] ]; p = 0; Do[ a = Table[ -1, {n} ]; k = Max[ 1, p ]; While[ Union[ a ] != {3}, k = NextPrime[ k ]; a = Take[ AppendTo[ a, Mod[ k, 5 ] ], -n ] ]; p = NestList[ PrevPrime, k, n ]; Print[ p[ [ -2 ] ] ]; p = p[ [ -1 ] ], {n, 1, 9} ]
