%N a(n) is the smallest positive number k coprime to (2n+1)!! such that (2n+1)!! + k^2 is a square.
%C a(n) always exists since the set of k coprime to (2n+1)!! and with (2n+1)!! + k^2 equal to a square is nonempty, because k = ((2n+1)!!-1)/2 is in the set.
%e a(5)=29 since 106^2 - 29^2 = 10395 = 3*5*7*9*11 and 29 is relatively prime to 10395 and is as small as possible.
