COMMENT

Conjecture: There are infinitely many primes in this sequence.

The sequence would have been a little nicer if the even terms had a minus one and the odd a plus one, so the first term would not have to be an exception.

PROGRAM

(PARI) a=vector(100) s=1 for(i=2, 100, if(Mod(i, 2)==0, a[i]=s*i+1, a[i]=s*i-1); s+=a[i])
