Numbers k such that 8k+1, 12k+1 and 24k+1 are primes and the last two are also of the form x^2 + 27y^2, so the tetrahedral number T(24k+1) is a Fermat pseudoprime to base 2.

EXAMPLE
1179 is in the sequence since 8*1179+1 = 9433, 12*1179+1 = 14149 = 107^2 + 27*10^2 and 24*1179+1 = 28297 = 163^2 + 27*8^2 are primes.
