%N A372525 Composite numbers k that divide A000296(k) + (-1)^k.
%C A372525 Equivalently, composite numbers k such that Sum_{i=1..k-1} (-1)^i * Bell(i) == 1 (mod k), where Bell(i) = A000110(i).
%C A372525 The congruence holds for all the primes. This is a special case of Sun and Zagier's (2011) Theorem 1.1, when m = 1.
%C A372525 a(5) > 56000, if it exists.
