%C The first 157 terms are primes. Are all terms prime? For n!^i, with 0<i<6, it looks like the terms are prime, too (see references). But for n!^6: a(28)=1189=29*41.

%C The first 200 terms are primes. - _Jon Perry_ and Christ van Willegen, Mar 07 2003

%C The first 3003 terms are primes. - _Dana Jacobsen_, May 13 2015
