Lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers a(1), a(2), a(3), ... such that for any n > 0, Sum_{k = 1..n} 1/(k*a(k)) < Sum_{k = 1..oo} 1/k^2 = Pi^2/6.

EXAMPLE
a(7) = 848809436 as Sum_{k = 1..7} 1/(k*a(k)) = 1/(1*1) + 1/(2*1) + ... + 1/(6*18826) + 1/(7*848809436) = 430556991329920237/261747263922187680, which is ~4.1*10^-20 less than Pi^2/6.
