%N Number of base-2 Fermat pseudoprimes x that have ord(2,x) = n.

%C A base-2 Fermat pseudoprime is a composite number x such that 2^x == 2 (mod x). For such an x, ord(2,x) is the smallest positive integer m such that 2^m == 1 (mod x). For a number x to have order n, it must be a factor of 2^n-1 and not be a factor of 2^r-1 for r<n. Sequence A086250 lists the smallest pseudoprime of order n.

%C Note that there is no pseudoprime of order n when 2^n-1 is prime. However that does not explain why there are none for 12, 27, 49 and 77.
