Motivated by the fact that the first terms are zero (which is of course a coincidence). Other values (17, 65, 145, 257...) occur much more frequently.

EXAMPLE

5^2+1 = 2*13, 13^2+1 = 10*17, 17^2=10*29; therefore a(1)=a(2)=a(3)=0.
29^2+1 = 22*37+28, therefore a(4)=28.
Kermit Rose's post in the primenumbers Yahoo group:
>>> (5**2+1)%13
0
>>> (13**2+1)%17
0
>>> (17**2+1)%29
0
Looks remarkable.
>>> (29**2+1)%37
28.
Oops: Break in the pattern. Another illustration of the law of small numbers. :)
