What are you actually computing here?  I get sequence v starting

4,56,220,1140

not

4,28,66,190

v(7) = 1*6 + 2*5 + 3*4 + 4*3 + 5*2 + 6*1 + 7*0 =
6+10+12+12+10+6+0 = 56.

I don't understand, again, why the primes (p1) of form 4n+1 differ in
behaviour from those (p3) of form 4n+3 in the following:

u=Sum=1..p1;  k (p1-k) ) is strictly increasing in function of p1, while
v=Sum(k=1..p3;  k (p3-k) ) is not (in function of p3).

v is descending from v(37) to v(38)

40752, 47892, 54114, 55608, 61766, 71082, 70464

I checked 'u' way up to 10,000 and found no 'drops'.
