Let be $p$ and $q$ two arbitrary Mersenne numbers.
Is there a simple proof that $p\cdot q-1$ can never been a square?
$p\cdot q-1$ can instead be a power of 3 for:
$p=3,q=3$
$p=7,q=31$
$p=63,q=127$
In these cases it is interesting to see that $p\cdot q+1$ is an even semi-prime, as in the case $3\cdot 3 +1=10$ or $7\cdot 31+1=218$ or $63\cdot 127 +1=4001\cdot 2$
