%N a(n) is the start of the least run of exactly n consecutive positive numbers with strictly decreasing values of A177329, or -1 if no such run exists.
%C For n > 1, a(n)! is the start the least run of successive factorials with strictly decreasing number of infinitary divisors (A037445).
%C a(9) > 170000, if it exists.
