Dec 23, 2015 at 10:49 | comment | added | Ilya Bogdanov | Isn't it true that simply $S((p-1)/2)$ is divisible by $p^2$ for $p\geq 7$? It seems quite plausible, and this would reveal the magic about the coefficients 2 and 7 which are needed in this case only for $p=5$... | |

Dec 23, 2015 at 5:48 | comment | added | Chitsai Liu | @ tkr, I have checked your congruence mod $p^3$ for $p\ge 7$ and find it is true, which I didn't notice. Thanks! | |
Dec 23, 2015 at 4:57 | comment | added | tkr | I don't know if it is helpful, and maybe you noticed, but for primes $p > 5$ it seems (unless my code is wrong) that that your second congruence in the "comment" is true modulo $p^3$ (I checked all $p < 10000$, again unless my code wrong). | |
