Forgive my ignorance, But isn't 983 the highest number below 1000 when consecutive prime numbers are added? In the problem section, they gave 953 as the highest number. Can anyone tell me how?
[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 109] is not a list of consecutive primes as the next prime after 83 is 89.
