On a remark of Tait on FLT for the exponent 3
@François Brunault: i see, that's very interesting, thanks!

oh, i see...thank you very much for pointing this out!

Surely that identity generates an infinite family of primitive solutions and thus contradicts Faltings' theorem...? But I guess even Mordell's conjecture hadn't even be made at that time...

You are welcome. Some special cases have been added. Let me know if you have more ideas too.

Analogue of van der Corput sequence for prime numbers
wonder what other variations can be invented for this question?

well, $\varphi(b)$ is even for $b>2$, and $(-1,b)=1$, so you pair off $r+0.5$ with $b-r+0.5$ when you average.
