%N Tetrahedral numbers k*(k+1)*(k+2)/6 such that exactly one of k, k+1, and k+2 is prime.

%e k=0: Of the three numbers (0,1,2), exactly one is prime, so 0*1*2/6 = 0 is in the sequence.

%e k=1: Of the three numbers (1,2,3), exactly two are prime, so 1*2*3/6 = 1 is not in the sequence.

%e k=4: Of the three numbers (4,5,6), exactly one is prime, so 4*5*6/6 = 20 is in the sequence.

%p isPr := proc(n) if isprime(n) then 1; else 0; end if; end proc: for n from 0 to 300 do if isPr(n)+isPr(n+1)+isPr(n+2) = 1 then printf("%d,",n*(n+1)*(n+2)/6 ) ; end if; end do: # _R. J. Mathar_, May 01 2010
