(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A085700 Numbers n such that (2n)!-(2n-2)!+(2n-4)!-...+(-1)^n 0! is prime. 0
2, 4, 26, 112, 365, 449, 453 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

COMMENTS
There is no further term up to 1000. Consider that 3 divides n!+(n-1)!+(n-2)!+...+1! (n > 1), so this number is composite for n > 2. Also 5 divides n!-(n-1)!+...+(-1)^n*1! for n > 2, so this number is composite for n > 3.

EXAMPLE
4 is in the sequence because 8!-6!+4!-2!+1 =39623 is prime.
