%N Numbers n such that (n^2 + 2)/3 is prime.

%C If n == 1 mod 3, then (n - 1)/3 is in A086285.

%e (2^2 + 2)/3 = 6/3 = 2, which is prime, so 2 is in the sequence.

%e (7^2 + 2)/3 = 51/3 = 17, which is prime, so 7 is in the sequence.

%e (11^2 + 2)/3 = 123/3 = 41, which is prime, so 11 is in the sequence.

%e (13^2 + 2)/3 = 171/3 = 57 = 3 * 19, which is not prime, so 13 is not in the sequence.

%p N:= 10000; # to get all terms <= 3 N + 2
