COMMENTS
Conjecture: If n is the product of two odd primes p and q and p is equal to 3, then neither p nor q is in the trajectory of (p*q)+1 under the Collatz 3x+1 map (A014682). - Marina Ibrishimova, Aug 29 2016
If there were any multiples of three present in this sequence, then there would also be nontrivial cycles among Collatz-trajectories. It has been empirically checked that for the first 2^22 = 4194304 primes from p=2 to p=71378569, 3*p certainly is not included in this sequence. - Antti Karttunen, Aug 30 2016
