%N A384181 Primes p such that k! + p or |k! - p| is composite for all k >= 0.
%C A384181 It is unknown whether there exists a prime p such that k! + p is composite for all k > = 0 (see A082470).
%C A384181 Every prime p in this list satisfies that at least one of the numbers k! + p, |k! - p| is composite; i.e., they cannot both be prime, for k >= 0.
%e A384181 71 is in this sequence, since k! + 71 is prime only when k = 2, 5, 9, 14, 22, 43, 53 and 55, but |k! - 71| is composite for such values of k.
