COMMENTS

If p = n+2 is prime, then p divides 2*n^n + 1. Proof : Let p = n+2 prime. According to the Fermat's theorem, then n^(p-1) ==1 (mod p). Because p-1 = n+1, then n^(n+1) ==1 (mod p), and with n=p-2 ==-2 (mod p), we obtain successively : n*n^n ==1 (mod p), -2*n^n ==1 (mod p), 2*n^n == -1 (mod p) => p divides 2*n^n + 1
