a(10) > 1.2*10^8. - Giovanni Resta, Apr 15 2016
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 2 because 2 > 1 and none of 2^2 + 0 = 4 = 2^2 is squarefree,
a(1) = 7 because none of 7^2 + 0 = 49 = (7^2), 7^2 + 1 = 50 =(5^2)*2 are squarefree,
a(2) = 32 because none of 32^2 + 0 = 1024 = (2^2)*156, 32^2 + 1 = 1025 = (5^2)*41, 32^2 + 2 = 1026 = (3^2)*114 are squarefree.
