Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
a(1)=3 because p=prime(1)=2 and both P=3^2-2=7 and Q=3^2+2=11 are prime;
a(3)=6 because p=5 and both P=31 and Q=41 are prime;
a(10000)=510 because p=104729 and both P=155371 and Q=364829 are prime.
