%N Determinant of the (n+1) X (n+1) matrix with (i,j)-entry equal to f(i+j) for all i,j = 0,...,n, where f(k) = A000172(k) is the k-th Franel number.
%C Conjecture: a(n)/6^n is always a positive odd integer. Moreover, for any integers r > 1 and n >= 0, the number a(r,n)/2^n is a positive odd integer, where a(r,n) denotes the Hankel determinant |f(r,i+j)|_{i,j=0,...,n} with f(r,k) = sum_{j=0}^k C(k,j)^r.
%C On Aug 20 2013, _Zhi-Wei Sun_ made the following conjecture: If p is a prime congruent to 1 mod 4 but p is not congruent to 1 mod 24, then p divides a((p-1)/2).
