I won't repeat the whole message.  This is just to say
that the  37, 1, ...  was chosen by Paul Vaderlind
'cos  37  and  (37 + 1)/2  are both prime, restricting
the ends of the chain.  Such primes will give smaller
numbers of chains when  n  is small, but the effect
probably diminishes for large  n.     R.
