Very few numbers of the form n^p+-1 are prime. 
... [snip primes of form n^p-1] ...
The only prime numbers of the form n^p+1 for n<=100 and prime 2<=p<=10
correspond to p=2 with n = 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26, ...

I extended the search to even n<=10000 and prime p<=2099 using PFGW and
didn't find any further primes of this form. Are there _any_ known other
examples?

Thanks
Hugo
