Number n is in the sequence if and only if the following seven numbers are all composite:

P_1(n) = 2n^4 + 4n^3 + 6n^2 + 4n + 1,

P_2(n) = 3n^4 + 12n^3 + 30n^2 + 36n + 17,

P_3(n) = 5n^4 + 40n^3 + 180n^2 + 400n + 354,

P_4(n) = 6n^4 + 60n^3 + 330n^2 + 900n + 979,

P_5(n) = 10n^4 + 180n^3 + 1710n^2 + 8100n + 15333,

P_6(n) = 15n^4 + 420n^3 + 6090n^2 + 44100n + 127687,

P_7(n) = 30n^4 + 1740n^3 + 51330n^2 + 756900n + 4463999.
