COMMENTS
The Frobenius number of a numerical semigroup generated by relatively prime integers a_1,...,a_n is the largest positive integer that is not a nonnegative linear combination of a_1,...,a_n. Since three consecutive hexagonal numbers are relatively prime, they generate a numerical semigroup with a Frobenius number.

EXAMPLE
a(2)=65 because 65 is not a nonnegative linear combination of 6, 15 and 28, but all integers greater than 65 are.
