%C A128457 13320 is a term found by Lelio R Paula 11/2006.
%C A128457 Numbers corresponding to a(13)..a(16) are probable primes. If n is of the form 4k+3 then 13^n-2 is composite, because 13^n-2 == (3^4)^k*3^3 - 2 == 25 == 0 (mod 5). So there is no term of the form 4k+3. - _Farideh Firoozbakht_, Dec 07 2009
