%N Numbers k such that k^27*(k^27+1)+1 is prime.

%C It seems numbers of the form k^n*(k^n+1)+1 with n > 0, k > 1 may be primes only if n has the form 3^j. When n is even, k^(4*n)+k^(2*n)+1=(k^(2*n)+1)^2-(k^n)^2=(k^(2*n)+k^n+1)*(k^(2*n)-k^n+1) so composite. But why if n odd > 3 and not a power of 3, k^n*(k^n+1)+1 is always composite ??
