Well sure, you can cheat.  But aren't you worried about undiscovered
small pseudoprimes?  *wink* (I guess for Rabin-Miller they are not
called Carmichael numbers, just for Fermat pseudoprimes[*])

Yours, Lulu...

[*] Does anyone know whether there are Carmichael-like numbers for
Rabin-Miller tests?  Last I knew, it was unproven either way, but that
was a while.  That is, can any composite pass R-M for every base?
