COMMENT

Carmichael (1922) conjectured that the number 1 never appears in this sequence. Sierpinski conjectured and Ford (1998) proved that all integers greater than 1 occur in the sequence. Erdos (1958) proved that if s >= 1 appears in the sequence then it appears infinitely often. - Nick Hobson Nov 04 2006
