Seriously disagreement

[Peter Pein]

Hi Artur,

nice to read you again :)

I would not believe _any_ result of someone who thinks that 1 is prime....

With a naive bruteforce method I get (with Mathematica):
In[1]:= ((Count[2*#1^2 - 1, _?PrimeQ] & )[Range[10^#1]] & ) /@ Range[6]
Out[1]= {7, 45, 303, 2202, 17185, 141444}

which starts like your sequence does.

Cheers,
Peter
