%N A240748 Numbers n such that n^k - (n-1)^k - ... - 3^k - 2^k - 1 is prime for some k.
%C A240748 a(7) > 13. See A240747 for more information.
%C A240748 a(n) is also the n-values such that A240747(n) is nonzero.
%C A240748 It is known that a(n) == 1 mod 4 or 2 mod 4 (except a(2) = 4).
%C A240748 If n is not squarefree, then n is not a member of this sequence.
%C A240748 It is known that 17, 22, 30, 41, 66, and 194 are members of this sequence.
%e A240748 There are primes of the form 2^k-1 (A000043) so 2 is a member of this sequence.
