Yes, you are right!

While generating several first elements of this sequence is easy, it
becomes more difficult as we move further, because it involves numbers that
are unfeasible to compute in explicit form, and we need some tricks to
compare them.

Can anybody suggest a program than can generate n-th term of this sequence?
