Prime Number Generator: Candidate #1
Prime numbers are very important for encryption, and generating them is necessary to the vast quantity of primes needed for all the zillions of different encryptions that go on daily. Here is a candidate that is posed to you: does this always and necessarily lead to a prime number when N is a positive integer? (Note that if this is indeed a prime number generator, it does not give ALL primes. It skips many of them - for example, it misses 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 17,...)
N3 - (N-1)3 = prime number ?
