cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A068192 Let a(1)=2, f(n) = 4*a(1)*a(2)*...*a(n-1) for n >= 1 and a(n) = f(n)-prevprime(f(n)-1) for n >= 2, where prevprime(x) is the largest prime < x.

%C A068192 The terms are easily seen to be distinct. It is conjectured that every element is prime. Do all primes occur in the sequence?
