%S A072164 2,3,4,7,11,17,106,120,1907,7918
%N A072164 Numbers n (>= 1) such that f(n) = n^n - (n-1)^(n-1) is prime.
%C A072164 Enoch Haga proposed studying the primality of f(n) and he already knew 
               the first 4 solutions. C. Rivera found the next four solutions using 
               Ubasic and the last one using PRIMEFORM. Currently f(1907) is only 
               a probable prime number, according to PRIMEFORM.
