%N Prime numbers p such that iterating the map m -> m^2 + 1 on p generates a number ending with p in binary format.

%e 37 is a term because iterating the map on 37, which is '100101' in binary format, gives: 37 -> 1370 -> 1876901, which in binary format is '111001010001110100101' ending with '100101'.
