Primes of the form 2^n*(n+1)!+1.
a(12) = 2^118*119!+1, a(13) = 2^142*143!+1. I conjecture that a(13) is the last prime number of this form. - Jorge Coveiro, Apr 01 2004
Conjecture that a(13) is the last prime of this form is false:
  a(14) = 2^2789*2780!+1 is prime
  a(15) = 2^3142*3143!+1 is prime
  a(16) = 2^3557*3558!+1 is prime
  a(17) = 2^3686*3687!+1 is prime
  a(18) = 2^4190*4191!+1 is prime
  a(19) = 2^7328*7329!+1 is prime
  See A248879. - Robert Price, Mar 10 2015

			a(1) = 5 = 2*2!+1
a(2) = 193 = 2^3*4!+1
a(3) = 23041 = 2^5*6!+1
a(4) = 92897281 = 2^8*9!+1
a(5) = 980995276801 = 2^11*12!+1
a(6) = 23310331287699456001 = 2^16*17!+1
a(11) = 2^87*88!+1 is too large to include.

[a: n in [1..40] | IsPrime(a) where a is 2^n*Factorial(n+1)+1]; // Vincenzo Librandi, Mar 10 2015

Select[Table[2^n (n + 1)! + 1, {n, 1, 100}], PrimeQ] (* Vincenzo Librandi, Mar 10 2015 *)

Starting with 4, multiply even composites until the product plus 1 equals a prime.
