%N Primes p such that p^q-2 is prime for some prime q.

%C For p>3, p^2-1 is divisible by 6. This follows from the fact that primes p>3 are of the form 6n+1 or 6n-1 and in either case p^2-1 is divisible by 6.

%e 2^2-2 = 2 is prime, so a(1)=2.

%e 3^2-2 = 7 is prime, so a(2)=3.

%e For q=2,3,5, 199^q-2 is not prime. For q=7, 199^7-2 is prime, so a(27)=199.

%o (PARI) g2(n) = forprime(x=2,n,y=g(1000,x);if(y>0,print1(x",")))

%o g(n, m) = p1=0;forprime(p=2,n,y=m^p-2;if(ispseudoprime(y),p1=p;break));p1
