    The next terms are 60512359083, 447808566362, 181830203704703.
    I didn't find a(14), but I searched past a(13), to 2.5x10^14.

    So far, it's non-decreasing. I don't know a good reason why it
    should stay that way. (But since candidates for each successive
    value get rarer, the least candidate will tend to increase.)
