Comments

If p is an odd prime and 2^(2^p-2) == 1 (mod p), then 2^(2^p-2) == 1 (mod p^2).

If 2^(k-1) == 1 (mod k) and 2^(2^k-2) == 1 (mod k), then 2^(2^k-2) == 1 (mod k^2).

Composite terms that are not Fermat pseudoprimes to base 2 are 66709, 951481, ...

Note that 66709 = 19*3511 and 951481 = 271*3511, where 3511 is a Wieferich prime.

Example

3 is a term, because 3^2 divides 2^(2^3-2) - 1 = 2^6 - 1 = 63.
