COMMENT

If p and p+2 are primes then p is a solution. If p and 2p+1 are both odd primes then 4p is a solution. Several numbers of the form 2^i-2 are solutions (see cross referenced sequences). Although 18 is a solution, it isn't of any of these forms.
Twice Mersenne primes (cf. A000668) are also solutions. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Feb 14 2002
