FORMULA
a(n) = (A322560(n+1) - A322560(n))/17^n.
For n > 0, a(n) = 16 - A322561(n).
EXAMPLE
The solution to x^2 == 2 (mod 17^4) such that x == 11 (mod 17) is x == 39927 (mod 17^4), and 39927 is written as 822B in heptadecimal, so the first four terms are 11, 2, 2 and 8.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = truncate(-sqrt(2+O(17^(n+1))))\17^n
