%C A249055 Suggested by A075336 and A249406.
%e A249055 Start with a(1) = 0. The missing numbers are 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...
%e A249055 Multiply the first two, and we get 2, which is therefore a(2).
%e A249055 Cross 1, 2, and 1*2 = 2 off the missing list.
%e A249055 The first two missing numbers are now 3 and 4, so a(3) = 3*4 = 12.
%e A249055 Cross off 3,4,12 from the missing list.
%e A249055 Repeat!
