%N The elements of the set P5 in ascending order.

%C P5 is the largest set of primes satisfying the conditions: (1) 5 is not in P5; (2) a prime p>5 is in P5 iff all prime divisors of p-1 are in P5.

%C P5 is also the set of all primes p for which the Pratt tree for p has no node labeled 5.

%C It is conjectured that this sequence is infinite.
