a(n) is the smallest b > 1 such that when c is equal to any of the first n composites the congruence b^(c-1) == 1 (mod c) is satisfied, i.e., smallest b larger than 1 such that any member of the set of smallest n composites is a base-b Fermat pseudoprime.

EXAMPLE
For n = 4: The four smallest composites are 4, 6, 8, 9 and for those four values of c the congruence b^(c-1) == 1 (mod c) is satisfied with b = 73. Since 73 is the smallest such value of b > 1, a(4) = 73.
