A237656 Least positive integer m such that {A000720(k^2): k = 1, ..., m} contains a complete system of residues modulo n, or 0 if such a number m does not exist. 6

%N Least positive integer m such that {A000720(k^2): k = 1, ..., m} contains a complete system of residues modulo n, or 0 if such a number m does not exist.

%C Conjecture: a(n) is always positive. Moreover, a(n) < 2*prime(n+1) - 2 for all n > 0.

%C Note that a(21) = 155 = 2*prime(22) - 3.

%e a(5) = 8 since {A000720(k^2): k = 1, ..., 8} = {0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 15, 18} contains a complete system of residues modulo 5, but {A000720(k^2): k = 1, ..., 7} contains no integer congruent to 3 modulo 5.
