%N Fermat pseudoprimes to base 3 of the form (3^(4*k + 2) - 1)/8.
%C These numbers were obtained for values of k from 1 to 20, with the following exceptions: k = 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, for which were obtained 3^n mod n = 3^7, 3^31, 3^37, 3^25, 3^31, 3^13.
%C Conjecture: There are infinitely many Fermat pseudoprimes to base 3 of the form (3^(4*k + 2) - 1)/8, where k is a natural number.
%C It is true: for example, when 2k+1 is a prime number (see A210461). - _Bruno Berselli_, Jan 22 2013
