%N Primes starting a Cunningham chain of the first kind of length 4.

%C Initial (unsafe) primes of Cunningham chains of first type with length exactly 4. Primes in A059453 that survive as primes just three "2p+1 iterations", forming chains of exactly 4 terms.

%C The definition indicates each chain is exactly 4 primes long (i.e., the chain cannot be a subchain of a longer one). That is why this sequence is different from A023272, which also gives primes included in longer chains ("starting" them or not).

%C Prime p such that {(p-1)/2, p, 2p+1, 4p+3, 8p+7, 16p+15} = {composite, prime, prime, prime, prime, composite}.

%e 1229 is a term because, through 2p+1, 1229 -> 2459 -> 4919 -> 9839 and the chain ends here since 2*9839 + 1 = 11*1789 is composite.
