COMMENTS
Aside from "3", all terms of A127928 must be 1 or 7 mod 18 (see A127928 for mod rules); but not all primes mod 1 or 7 are pure hailstone numbers. For example, the prime 61 == 7 mod 18 but 61 is impure. Conjecture: for large n, the numbers of 1 and 7 mod 18 terms are approximately equal.

FORMULA
Pure hailstone (Collatz) numbers that are also prime (i.e. the set A127928), mod 18.
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 7 since A127928(5) = 43 and 43 == 7 mod 18.
