%N Length of FixedPointList approximating (2^n)-th composite number. See program link below.
%C Number of iterations needed to reach the composite number using the formula in the program.
%e n=30: {1073741824, 1128141853, 1130754984, 1130880243, 1130886219, 1130886489, 1130886503, 1130886504}, so a(30)=8.
