From Aug 16-22, 2025, contributions came from Ian Ianakiev, Emmanuel Vantiehem, Giorgos Kalogeropoulos, JM Rebert, Vicente Felipe Izquierdo, Gennady Gusev, Oscar Volpatti, Michael Hürter. *** Ian wrote:
The forth term of your sequence should be 28, since
28 = 5 + 23 = 2 + 7 + 19 = 3 + 5 + 7 + 13 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11
Can't comment on the terms greater than 45, my code is too naive and my
computer is too slow.
*** After receiving the Ian's email I forwarded it to Paolo, and this was his answer: ...here below the revised list. 34 and 195 were not correct: 28 and 166 are the correct ones. Now, I added also 399 (from 2 to 16 different primes).
166 = 3 + 163 = 2 + 7 + 157 = 3 + 5 + 7 + 151 = 2 +
3 + 5 + 7 + 149 = 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 127 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 29 +
109 = 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 31 + 79 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17
+ 19 + 89 = 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 31 + 37 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7

a decent program to do that)..

As you can see, the fourth (28) and the tenth (166) are different from
Paolo's list. I found :

Paolo Lava's sequence is correct, with one exception.
For n=11 (odd), the smallest sum is s=166 (even).
After 338, next ten elements of the sequence are:
399, 440, 511, 572, 645, 718, 811, 888, 985, 1064.
in the table below are the solutions up to n=200, s=111601.
For compactness, I'm not explicitly sending prime sums too.
