%N A072296 Least number starting a chain of exactly n consecutive even integers that do not have cototient-inverses.
%C A072296 If the strong Goldbach conjecture (every even number>6 is the sum of at least 2 distinct primes p and q) is true, sequence contains only even values. Since p*q-phi(p*q)=p+q-1 and then every odd number can be expressed as x-phi(x). - _Benoit Cloitre_, Mar 03 2002.
%e A072296 Neither 50 nor 52 have cototient-inverses and since 50 is the first of the two and the least number with this property, a(2) = 50.
