Find the number of bases n \ge 2 such that 100_n + 1_n is prime.    

 

This is another way of saying    

How many numbers have the property that (n2 + 1) is prime?    

 

They've been asking that question for ages.    

No one has ever been able to answer it, yet.    

I think mathematicians say that it is infinite.
