Google Treasure Hunt 2008Find the Smallest Prime Number

Question:
Find the smallest number that can be expressed as
the sum of 3 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 11 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 25 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 171 consecutive prime numbers,
the sum of 1225 consecutive prime numbers,
and is itself a prime number.


For example, 41 is the smallest prime number that can be expressed as
the sum of 3 consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 = 41) and
the sum of 6 consecutive primes (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 = 41).

  1. Dim a(100000000) As Byte, p(10000000) As Long, num As Long, n As Long
  2. Sub Getprimes()
  3.     Dim i&, j&, k
  4.     p(0) = 2    'The 1st prime
  5.     k = 10000    'sqrare root of 10^8
  6.     n = 100000000    '10^8
  7.     For i = 3 To k Step 2
  8.         If a(i) = 0 Then
  9.             num = num + 1
  10.             p(num) = i
  11.             For j = i * i To n Step 2 * i    'Eractosthenes
  12.                 a(j) = 100    'Not prime number
  13.             Next
  14.         End If
  15.     Next
  16.     For i = k + 1 To n Step 2    'List all prime numbers to array p()
  17.         If a(i) = 0 Then
  18.             num = num + 1
  19.             p(num) = i
  20.         End If
  21.     Next
  22. End Sub
  23. Private Sub Command1_Click()
  24.     Dim s As String, tm As Single
  25.     s = InputBox("Please enter numbers:""Info""3,11,25,171,1225")    'Input all numbers the question has listed
  26.     tm = Timer
  27.     Getprimes
  28.     s = minprime(s)
  29.     tm = Timer - tm
  30.     Clipboard.Clear
  31.     Clipboard.SetText CStr(s)    'Copy the answer to Clipboard
  32.     MsgBox "It cost me about " & Format(tm, "0.0000") & " seconds to find the answer: " & s & vbCrLf & "And it has been copied to the clipboard"
  33. End Sub
  34. Function minprime(myprimes As StringAs Long
  35.     Dim i&, j&, sum() As Long, count As Long, primedata
  36.     primedata = Split(myprimes, ",")
  37.     count = UBound(primedata)
  38.     ReDim sum(count)
  39.     For i = 0 To count
  40.         For j = 1 To primedata(i)    'Small sum of continuous prime numbers
  41.             sum(i) = sum(i) + p(j)
  42.         Next
  43.         If a(sum(i)) < 100 Then a(sum(i)) = a(sum(i)) + 1    'Meet one of the conditions
  44.         For j = primedata(i) + 1 To num
  45.             sum(i) = sum(i) + p(j) - p(j - primedata(i))
  46.             If sum(i) > n Then Exit For
  47.             If a(sum(i)) < 100 Then a(sum(i)) = a(sum(i)) + 1    'Meet one of the conditions
  48.             If a(sum(i)) = count + 1 Then minprime = sum(i): Exit Function    'Meet all of the conditions,Ok
  49.         Next
  50.     Next
  51. End Function

It returns:
