A000001 1+n^3+n^5 is prime

[zak seidov]

Dear Gabe and all,
thank you for your replies and 
hope that this thread'll end soon. 

3 and 5 are the first two odd primes,
1 is the minimal positive number 
to be added to 3^n+5^n in hope that 
sum will be prime 
(assuming n > 0).

Then I did rewrite it as
1+n^3+n^5 and...  

if someone knows the less arbitrary sequence,
please go ahead,
WADR, Zak
