%C A292082 Conjecture: sequence is finite.
%C A292082 Numbers k such that (k^2 - 1) / 2 is a square are given by A001541, of which the only prime terms are 3, 17, 577, and 665857 (see _Alexander Adamchuk_'s Nov 24 2006 Comments entry there), so a(4) = 665857 is the last term of this sequence. - _Jon E. Schoenfield_, Nov 20 2017
%e A292082 Number 3 is in the sequence because (3^2 - 1) / 2 = 4 (square).
