COMMENT

Comments from Franklin T. Adams-Watters:
"Think of these as polynomials. E.g. 121 is the polynomial n^2+2n+1. There are three cases:
"(1) If the coefficients (digits) all have a common factor, the result will be divisible by that factor.
"(2) If the polynomial can be factored, the numbers will be composite. n^2+2n+1 = (n+1)^2, so it is always composite.
"(3) Otherwise, look at the polynomial modulo primes up to its degree. For example, 112 (n^2+n+2, degree 2) modulo 2 is always 0, so it is always divisible by 2.
"Note that condition (1) is really a special case of condition (2), where one of the factors is a constant.
"If none of the above conditions apply, the polynomial will (probably) have prime values."

EXAMPLE
|
String 55 in every base in which it is interpretable is divisible by 5. String 1001 in base a is divisible by a+1. Hence 55 and 1001 both belong to this sequence.
