%N Numbers n such that 29^n + 2 is prime.

%C After 0, all terms are odd. [_Bruno Berselli_, Oct 02 2014]

%e a(1) = 1 is a member because 29^1 + 2 = 31 is prime.

%e 29^3+2 = 24391 is prime, so 3 is in the sequence.

%o (PARI) for( n = 0,239, if( isprime( 29^n +2), print( n), ))

%Y Cf. A051783, n such that 3^n +2 is prime.

%Y Cf. A087885, 5^n +2 is prime.
