%N A121668 Products of consecutive Apery numbers, cf. A006221.
%C A121668 The solutions x_{n-1}:=A_nA_{n-1}, y_n of the four-term recurrence relation 
               defined by x_0=5, x_1= 365, x_2= 105485 and y_0= 0, y_1=8424, y_2= 
               2438709 are such that y_n/x_n -> 16*zeta(3)^2. Generalizations to 
               products of three or more Apery numbers are to be found in the cited 
               paper.
