10   for N=1 to 999999
20     P=N+6
30     if prmdiv(P)=P then
40          :Sq=9*N+7
50          :Sr=int(sqrt(Sq)+0.5)
60          :if Sr*Sr=Sq then print N,P,Sq,Sr
70             :Ct=Ct+1:if Ct>45 then stop
80   next

finds the first three values of n higher than 1 are 53, 277 and 373:

  n             n + 6           9*n + 7      sqrt(9*n+7)
1               7               16              4
