EXAMPLE
The initial terms of the b(n) sequence are approximately
2, 3.00000000000000000000000, 4.58496250072115618145375, 6.78187243514238888864578, 9.54355608312733448665509, 12.7980830210090262451102, 16.4759388461842196480290, 20.5182276175427023220954, 24.8770618274970204646817, 29.5138060245244394221195, 34.3971240984210783617324, ...
b(5) is the first term >= 8, so a(3) = 5.
