Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 167 because, for (p, q) = (7, 167), 9 = 7^3 - 2*167 = 343 - 334 = 9.
MAPLE
for n from 3 by 2 to 200 do:
jj:=0:
for j from 1 to 10000 while (jj=0) do:
p:=ithprime(j):q:=(p^3-n)/2:
if q> 0 and type(q, prime)=true
then
jj:=1:printf(`%d, `, q):
else

if jj=0 then
