%N Numbers n such that the number of partitions of n(n+1)/2 (=A000041(A000217(n))) is prime.

%C Because asymptotically A000041(n*(n+1)/2) ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(2/3*(n*(n+1)/2))) / (4*sqrt(3)*(n*(n+1)/2)), the sum of the prime probabilities ~1/log(A000041(n*(n+1)/2)) is diverging and there are no obvious restrictions on primality; therefore, this sequence may be conjectured to be infinite.

%e a(3) = 8 is in the sequence because A000041(8*9/2) = 17977 is a prime.
