%N A089588 a(n)=A089588(2^n+1) for n>=0.
%C A089588 A089588(n) is the smallest integer k, 0<k<n, that most often satisfies
the condition: k^m > k^(m+1) (modulo n) as m varies from 1 to n-1,
for n>2, with a(1)=0 and a(2)=1. It is conjectured that A089588(n)=2
only when n is a Fermat number 2^(2^j)+1 for j>=0.
%F A089588 a(2^k+1) = 2 for k>=0 (conjecture).
