a(n) = denominator of r(n): r(1)=1, r(n+1) = [b(1,n);b(2,n),...,b(n,n)], a continued fraction of rational terms, where {b(k,n)} is the permutation of the first n terms of {r(k)} such that r(n+1) is minimized.

EXAMPLE
| The first 5 terms of {r(k)} are: 1,1,2,4/3,25/18. The continued fraction, whose terms are the permutation of the first 5 terms of {r(k)} which leads to the smallest r(6), is [1;2,1,25/18,4/3] = 416/303.
