n^n is interprime, 2,6,9, n ~> 20,000

[ZAKIRS]

i'm not sure, but next n is as large as in subject. good luck to all. zak

3^3 + 10 and 3^3 - 10 are both prime but I think Zak is looking for
cases where n^n sits equidistant from two *consecutive* primes, so 3 is
not in the sequence.

I hope I understood properly! :-)

Zak: what's the largest possible n you've checked for so far?

Best regards,
