Dear Hugo,
     seqfans,

the (one) point is that 
other day Neil explained me
that "base" means that 
SEQ is not so much interesting for OEIS.

i'm afraid that i don't yet understand 
the "real" meaning of this base keyword "base"...
silly(?) Q:
is any number that is prime in base 10
is prime in other bases as well? 

the more(?) interesting Q is:
are really cases n=1 and 28 
the only two(?) ones(??)
making 3^(2n)+(2n)^3 prime?
see A109215 (pending, and, sorry, again "base"), 
thanks, zak

%I A109215
17,5,3,11,11,3,677,17,3,83,23,3,5,29,3,1049,23,3,307
<...>
%N A109215 Smallest factor of 3^(2n)+(2n)^3.
%C A109215 For n=1,28 we have the only two(?) primes
of the form 
3^(2n)+(2n)^3: 17 and 523347633027360537213687137.
Cases n=3*m are trivial and may be omitted.

%K A109215 ,base,nice,nonn,
