%N Irregular triangle: T(n, k) = k! modulo prime(n), 1<k<prime(n), 1<n.

%C It is conjectured that only first and second row have all terms distinct.

%C This holds for n less than ten million. In Trudgian's terminology, there are no socialist primes less than 10^7. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Nov 05 2013
