This one was approximately

%I A000001
%S A000001 2,3,6,12,48,2472,17569637319163259504744306426508888
%N A000001 Increasing sequence with a(1)=2 and a(n) = tau(a(n)+a(n+1)).
%C A000001 The algorithm is: obtain the smallest number with a(n) divisors, for example
%C A000001 via A005179 - if this equals a(n) take the next larger candidate, and
%C A000001 subtract a(n) to compute a(n+1).
%C A000001 a(8) is (2^1567597904993153060737357818210 * 3^466 * 5^2 * 7 * 11 * 13) - 17569637319163259504744306426508888,
%C A000001 approximately 4.676024*10^471893990542954871479908400227 [R. Munafo (mrob27(AT)gmail.com], May 18 2010

I don't know if anyone has already submitted anything equivalent to these; I haven't.
