COMMENT

After a(0) = 1, it is never the case that n^5 + n + 1 is prime. Proof: consider integers modulo 4, that is, as 4n+k. (4*n+k)^5 + (4*n+k) + 1 factors into irreducible components over Z. 1024n^5 + 1280k(n^4) + 640(k^2)(n^3) + 160(k^3) (n^2) + (20(k^4)+4)n + (k^5+k+1) = (16n^2 + 8kn + 4n + k^2 + k + 1) (64n^3 + 48k(n^2) - 16n^2 + 12(k^2)n - 8kn + k^3 - k^2 + 1). - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Oct 17 2007

EXAMPLE

5 is included because 5^2+5+1=31, 5^3+5+1=131 and 5^4+5+1=631 are all prime.
