%N Numbers n such that phi(n)/phi(phi(n)) = 3.

%C Also numbers n such that phi(n) = 2^a*3^b with a, b > 0.

%C Also numbers n such that a regular n-gon can be constructed using conics but not with merely a compass and straightedge.

%C "Constructed using conics" means that one can draw any conic, once its focus, its vertex and a point on its directrix are constructed. Points at intersections are thereby constructed. (Videla's definition is slightly more complicated, but equivalent.) One can use parabolas to take cube roots; hyperbolas yield trisected angles. - _Don Reble_, Apr 23 2007
