Ok my thread seems to have gone into a black hole. The existence of such a number would disprove Andrica's conjecture.

Well, if you looked down a few lines in the form, you would see that it got moved to a different forum. :-p It still exists.

I thought it a textbook problem because it's very straightforward to show no such n exists.
