COMMENTS
Sequence includes only multiples of Fermat numbers (sequence A080307), but not all of them. It is not certain that A080309 is infinite, but it seems likely given that exactly one-half of all integers are multiples of Fermat numbers (see A080307).
EXAMPLE
The first 3 even numbers are 2, 4 and 6; the first 3 multiples of Fermat numbers (the numbers of the form 2^(2^n)+1) are 3, 5 and 6. The third even number is also the third Fermat multiple; thus 3 is in the sequence.
