COMMENTS
Numbers n such that (n^n + 3)/(n - 3) is an integer.
Most but not all terms are congruent to 4 modulo 6. - Robert G. Wilson v, Dec 19 2014
Note that n^n == 3^n mod (n-3). - Robert Israel, Dec 19 2014

EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because (2^2 + 3)/(2 - 3) = -7 is an integer.
4 is in this sequence because (4^4 + 3)/(4 - 3) = 259 is an integer.
7 is not in the sequence because (7^7 + 3)/4 = 411773/2, which is not an integer.
