Example

For n=3 p=5 is the least prime that 6^3-p is prime (211).

Maple

f:= proc(n) local t, p;
  t:= 6^n;
  p:= 2;
  do
    p:= nextprime(p);
  until isprime(t-p);
  p
end proc:
map(f, [$1..100]); # Robert Israel, Nov 05 2020

Mathematica

f[n_] := Block[{p = 2}, While[! PrimeQ[6^n - p], p = NextPrime[p]];
  p]; Array[f, 60]

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = my(p = 2); while(!isprime(6^n-p), p = nextprime(p+1)); p; \\ Michel Marcus, Mar 23 2016
