Dear Seqfans,
Yesterday I was asked "If number 1 occured in this sequence infinite times  
?"
Answer and proof was much easiest as I suppoused,
Yes indeed number 1 will be occured if and only in this sequence for  
a(Prime[n]-1) <=a(A006093)>
Recent question. In which position will be occured 2 and if number of  
places is infinite
2 occured in a(3,5,8,9,11,15,20,...)
