A066400 Smallest values of t arising in R. L. Graham's sequence (A006255). 12

%N Smallest values of t arising in R. L. Graham's sequence (A006255).

%C Length of n-th row in table A245499. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jul 25 2014

%C Indices of records are 1, 2, 8, 14, 52, 99, 589, 594, 595... (A277649) - _Peter Kagey_, Oct 24 2016

%C It is conjectured that 2 never appears in this sequence. a(n) = 2 if and only if A006255(n) = A072905(n). - _Peter Kagey_, Oct 25 2016

%C a(n) is three most of the time, then 5, then 6, then 4 for the first 1000 and the first 10000 terms. At n = 72, 78 and 85, a(n) is 4 or 5 and 4 and 5 occured equally often so far. At 299, 301, 312, 322 and 403, a(n) is 4 or 6 and 4 and 6 occured equally often so far. This doesn't happen for the first 10000 terms for 5 and 6. - _David A. Corneth_, Oct 25 2016

%H David A. Corneth, <a href="/A066400/b066400.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a> (first 1000 terms from Reinhard Zumkeller and Peter Kagey)

%H R. L. Graham, <a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/2689569">Bijection between integers and composites</a>, Problem 1242, Math. Mag., 60 (1987), p. 180.

%e a(2) = 3 because the best such sequence is 2,3,6 which has three terms.
