"A remarkable pattern that is entirely accidental and leads nowhere" - M. Gardner, referring to the first 8 terms.
a(2)*a(3)*a(4) = 34179391, a Zeisel number (A051015) with coefficients (10,21).
a(2)*a(3)*a(4)*a(5) = 1139233281421, a Zeisel number with coefficients (10,21).
a(2)*a(3)*..*a(6) = 379741768929343351, a Zeisel number with coefficients (10,21).
a(2)*a(3)*..*a(7) = 1265805010367017001532181, a Zeisel number with coefficients (10,21).
a(2)*a(3)*..*a(8) = 42193497392022209194699696424911, a Zeisel number with coefficients (10,21).
The integer lengths of the terms of the sequence are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 18, 40, 50, 60, 78, 101, 151, 319, 382, etc. - Harvey P. Dale, Dec 01 2018
