%C A094353 This sequence does not include every natural number. Suppose it contains b^2. Then letting A be the product up to b^2, we have A + 1 = i^2 and b^2 A + 1 = j^2. Multiplying the first equation by b^2 and subtracting, we get (bi)^2 = j^2 + b^2 - 1, which puts an upper bound on i and j (and hence on A). Probably the sequence contains no squares other than 1. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Aug 29 2006
