after 67: 83, 109, 127, 157, etc.
These are super prime numbers. Super primes are a concept not easy to comprehend unless you are a computer programmer.
The first prime number is 2. Then 3 is super prime because it appears at second
position in list of primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, ...) Similarly 5 appears at third position and 3 is a prime.
