%N Product modulo p of the quadratic nonresidues of p, where p = prime(n).

%C a(n) == (-1)^((p-1)/2) (mod p), if p = prime(n) is odd.

%C a(n)*A163366(n) == -1 (mod prime(n)), by Wilson's theorem.

%F a(n) = A177861(n) modulo prime(n).

%e a(1) = 1 = the empty product, because there are no quadratic nonresidues of prime(1) = 2.

%e a(4) = 6 because the quadratic nonresidues of prime(4) = 7 are 3, 5, and 6, and 3*5*6 = 90 == 6 (mod 7).
