%N Least positive integer m <= n^2/2 + 3 such that {k*prime(k): k = 1,...,m} contains a complete system of residues modulo n, or 0 if such a number m does not exist.

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.

%C (ii) For any positive integer n not equal to 3, the number n*prime(n) + 1 cannot be a power x^m with m > 1.

%C (iii) There are infinitely many positive integers n with n - 1, n + 1, n + prime(n), n + prime(n)^2, n^2 + prime(n), n^2 + prime(n)^2 all prime.
