For values of n see A024898.

Contribution from Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 12 2008: (Start)

Also primes p such that p^q - 2 is not prime where q is an odd prime. These

numbers cannot be prime because the binomial p^q = (6n-1)^q expands to 6h-1

some h. Then p^q-2 = 6h-1-2 is divisible by 3 thus not prime. (End)
