(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A163800 a(n) is the n-th J_20-prime (Josephus_20 prime) Place the numbers 1..N (N>=2) on a circle and cyclicly mark the 20th unmarked number until all N numbers are marked. The order in which the N numbers are marked defines a permutation; N is a J_20-prime if this permutation consists of a single cycle of length N. 18
