%N a(1)=1; then for n even, a(n)=(sum of previous terms times n) plus 1, for n odd, a(n)=(sum of previous terms times n) minus 1.

%C Conjecture: There are infinitely many primes in this sequence.

%C The sequence would have been a little nicer if the even terms had a minus one and the odd a plus one, so the first term would not have to be an exception.

%C Except for the first two terms, it appears that a(n) are the first differences of A002467. - _Carl Najafi_, Sep 27 2018
