EXAMPLE

a(6)=5 because x^2-6 has roots in the 5-adic integers. Roots are

4+5+4*5^2+2*5^4+3*5^5+2*5^6+5^7+3*5^8+O(5^9) and

1+3*5+4*5^3+2*5^4+5^5+2*5^6+3*5^7+5^8+O(5^9); but this is irreducible over Qp for p in {2,3} (x^2-6 is Eisenstein for p=2 and 3).

MAPLE

p:=1; anz:=0; while anz=0 do p:=nextprime(p); poly:=x^2-i; anz:=nops([rootp(poly, p)]); od; a(n):=p;
