Google Treasure Hunt 2008---Find the Smallest Prime Number

Question:
Find the smallest number that can be expressed as
the sum of 3 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 11 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 25 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 171 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 1225 consecutive prime numbers,
and is itself a prime number.


For example, 41 is the smallest prime number that can be expressed as
the sum of 3 consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 = 41) and
the sum of 6 consecutive primes (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 = 41).

  6. n=100000000'10^8
  7. Fori=3TokStep2
  8. Ifa(i)=0Then
  9. num=num+1
  10. p(num)=i
  11. Forj=i*iTonStep2*i'Eractosthenes
  12. a(j)=100'Notprimenumber
  13. Next
  14. EndIf
