Hans and Neil,

        Very nice. Neil, would you submit this sequence to N.J.A. Sloane's The
On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and credit Hans with this third
term.  The sequence would start: 23, 1039, 403026797 and I believe that you
could safely label it "hard". The offset would be 1. A possible entry with the
offset of 0 would be 5 but it is not very pretty.

Congratulations both,

Robert G. "Bob" Wilson, V
Assoc. Ed. of the OEIS
