%I A016104
%S A016104 1,3,13,16381
%N A016104 2^2^2^ ... 2^w (with n 2's), where w = 1.9287800.....
%C A016104 w is uniquely defined as the largest value such that for all n>0, a(n) 
               is prime. - Charles R Greathouse IV Oct 25 2006
%C A016104 Hardy's paper uses this as an example, although the sequence is not well-defined 
               there. The next term is probably 2^16382-35411, a 4932-digit prp.
