(In reply to A few ideas by Brian Smith)

I like the 3rd one very much, it’s original and well defined !

I will include it, inter alia, in the official solution.

3, 7, 11, 19, 31, 51, 83, ... not applicable to n<3

t(n) = t(n-1) + t(n-2) + 1

3, 7, 11, 12, 2, -40, -169, ... wrong formula, good idea

If f(n) is the nth Fibonacci number then t(n) = (n+2)^2 - f(n)

3, 7, 11, 19, 23, 31, 43, ... bravo

Primes congruent to 3 mod 4

Go get more!
