%F p = Rest[{A001203}]; q = N[1, 100]; r = p[[1]] + 1; t = {}; Do[q = q*p[[i]]; g = q^(1/i) - Khinchin; If[Abs[g] < r, r = Abs[g]; t = Append[t, i]], {i, 1, Length[p]}]; t

%e The geometric mean of 17 terms (Khinchin + 0.00752006) is not bettered until we calculate the geometric mean of 97 terms (Khinchin - 0.00326655).
