Numbers n such that n and its 2's complement are both primes. In other words, n and 2^k - n (where k is the smallest power of 2 such that 2^k > n) are primes.

FORMULA
If isPrime(p) And isPrime(2^(floor(Log(p, 2)) + 1) - p) then sequence.add(p)
If A(x) is the counting function of the terms a(n) <= x, then A(x) = O(xloglogx/(logx)^2) [From Vladimir Shevelev, Dec 04 2008]
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 19 because 19 is prime and (2^5 - 19) = (32 - 19) = 13 which is prime.
a(74) = 1777 because 1777 is prime and (2^11 - 1777) = (2048 - 1777) = 271 which is prime.
