COMMENTS

Place the numbers 1..N (N>=2) on a circle and cyclicly mark the 12th unmarked number until all N numbers are marked. The order in which the N numbers are marked defines a permutation; N is a J_12-prime if this permutation consists of a single cycle of length N.
There are 13 J_12-primes in the interval 2..1000000 only. No formula is known; the J_12-primes were found by exhaustive search.
