Hints
(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A165801 f(n), f(f(n)), ... are all prime, where f(n) = (n-1)/2. Stop when f(...f(n)...) is less than 4. 3
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 23, 47, 95 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

1,2

COMMENTS

There are no more terms since 95 is composite.

EXAMPLE

(95-1)/2=47(prime); (47-1)/2=23(prime); (23-1)/2=11(prime); (11-1)/2=5(prime); (5-1)/2=2(prime); no composite numbers smaller then 2 exists,end. (47-1)/2=23(prime);(23-1)/2=11(prime); (11-1)/2=5(prime); (5-1)/2=2;no composite numbers smaller then 2 exists,end.

MATHEMATICA
