COMMENT

For 3<n and any a(n-1)<a(n) use a(n)=a(n+1)=a(n+2) to show prime(j+1)^3 < prime(1)*...*prime(j) for j>5.

EXAMPLE

For n=5, j=3 gives 5-3+1 = 3 < prime(3) = 5, true; but if j=2 we get 5-2+1 = 4 which is not < prime(2) = 3; hence a(5) = 3.

a(75)=18 because 75-18+1=58 < 61=prime(18), but 75-17+1=59=prime(17)
