a(27) > 10^5. - Robert Price, Aug 06 2017
As reported by Lelio R Paula in November 2014 at primenumbers.net/prptop, the following three terms are also in this sequence: 127176, 128640, 136434. It is not confirmed that they are the next terms, however. - Robert Price, Aug 06 2017
EXAMPLE
6^1+5=11 and 6^2+5=41, which are both prime, so 1 and 2 are in the sequence. 6^3+5=221 is not prime since it is divisible by 7, so 3 is not in the sequence.
