Well, for 30 given values there's always a polynomial of degree 29
that fits *exactly* through these points, but in general not through
the 31st point...
Did you try to ask for the "exact" solution for 15 points and then to
check the 16th point ?
(NB: I don't pretend that what you copied is a polynomial !)

But I agree that HypergeometricPFQ is a nice "encoding" of the answer.
Well, actually A001609(n) is the most concise and most informative way
to code that function.
