Abstract: In this article we study, using elementary and combinatorial methods, the distribution of quadratic non-residues which are not primitive roots modulo $p^h$ or $2p^h$ for an odd prime $p$ and $h\geq1$ an integer.

Keywords: quadratic non-residues, primitive roots, Fermat numbers

Classification (MSC 2000): 11N69
