Comments

Interestingly, the initial terms of A040119 (Primes p such that x^4 = 10 has a solution mod p) are identical to the initial terms of this sequence except for 241 which is a term of A040119 but not of A186635. [John W. Layman, Feb 25 2011]

There are many numbers in A040119 that are not here: 241, 641, 769, 809, 1009, 1409, 1601, 1721.... - T. D. Noe, Feb 25 2011
