%N Primes p such that the equation x^64 == -2 (mod p) has a solution, and ord_p(-2) is even.

%C Such primes are the exceptional p for which x^64 == -2 (mod p) has a solution, as x^64 == -2 (mod p) is soluble for *every* p with ord_p(-2) odd.

%C But if ord_p(-2) is even and p - 1 = 2^r.j with j odd, then x^64 == -2 (mod p) is soluble if and only if ord_p(-2) is not divisible by 2^(r-5). See comment at A163185 for explanation.

%C Most primes p for which x^64 == -2 (mod p) has a solution (A051101) have ord_p(-2) odd (so belong to A163183). Thus 25601 (first element of current sequence, and 827th element of A051101) is the first element where A051101 and A163183 differ.

%e For p = 25601, 562^64 == -2 (mod p), the 2-power part of p-1 is 2^10 and ord_p(-2) = 400, which is even but has 2-power part 2^4, which is not divisible by 2^(10-5).

%Y A051101 (all primes p for which x^62 == -2 (mod p) has a solution) is a union of A163183 (primes p with ord_p(-2) odd) and the current sequence.
