The sequence A153971 is incorrectly defined:

A153971 Numbers p such that 2^(p-1)+3 is not prime.
         11, 23, 59, 83, 179, 263, 311, 419, 479, 683, 839, 1103, 1511,
2111, 2243, 2663, 2963, 3119, 4139, 4703, 5099, 5303, 5939, 7079, 10223,
11399, 12011, 12323, 12959, 17483, 19403, 21011, 21839, 22259, 24419,
25763, 27143, 27611, 28559, 30011, 32003

Note that if p = 6 then 2^(p-1)+3 = 35, but 6 is not in the
listed numbers. Next guess: definition should be only primes p such that
2^(p-1)+3 is not prime, but then 37 should be in the list, yet it is not.
