The sequence in question in this problem involves numbers m such that all sums of consecutive positive integers ending with m are not prime. The number 12 is not in the sequence because 11+12 is prime. The number 13 is not in the sequence because 13 is prime. However, 14 is in the sequence because all of the sums 14, 14+13, 14+13+12, etc. through 14+13+12+…+1 are not prime.
Write a function that returns the nth number in this sequence.

The solutions don't match the problem statement, as 1 is not composite. It should be something like:
"numbers m such that no sum of consecutive positive integers ending with m are prime".
Thanks. Changed.
