%N Centered cube numbers: (n+1)^18 + n^18.

%C Never prime nor semiprime, as a(n) = (2n^2 + 2n +1) * (n^4 + 2n^3 + 5n^2 + 4n +1) * (n^12 + 6n^11 + 51n^10 + 200n^9 + 480n^8 + 786n^7 + 923n^6 + 792n^5 + 495n^4 + 220n^3 + 66n^2 + 12n + 1). Triprime for n in {9, 347, 1069, 1072, ...}. - _Jonathan Vos Post_, Aug 27 2011
