E.N. noticed that in A111273 (definition: a(n) = smallest divisor of t_n =
n(n+1)/2 that has not yet appeared in the sequence), it seems that a(p-1)=p
for all odd primes p.
Surely this can't be a hard problem?

It would follow if we knew that the smallest missing number (smn) in
A111273 (which is now A309195) is always >n/2.
