COMMENTS
From the randomness of the graph, it seems likely that every number will eventually occur. a(n)=1 for the n in A094358. When do 5 and 23 occur? The number 14 finally appears at n=34913. a(n) can be computed rapidly using two applications of the powermod function.
EXAMPLE
a(1941491)=a(43228711)=a(75548489)=5 and a(100867561)=23. See A155886 for the first occurrence of each number. [From T. D. Noe, Jan 31 2009]
