%N Beginning with 1, the smallest number not included earlier such that the n-th partial product is an n-th power; or the geometric mean of the first n terms is an integer.

%C Every term is a power of 2 and the geometric mean of first n terms is 2 for n >1. Rearrangement of powers of 2.

%e a(5) = 128: the product of the first five terms is 1*4*2*32*128 = 2^15 = 8^5; 4 gives 4^5, also a 5th power, but 4 is already included.
