:I was surprised that someone hadn't made a task out of this before because it's quite a well known number sequence with an interesting background. Is there anything in your original draft that might be worth adding now? --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 16:10, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Bigger values of 'n' to try

Looks like this task is too easy on modern hardware for those with access to GMP.

I've found a more up to date link with some even bigger numbers for those who want to extend their solution.

The value of h[n] for the biggest of these (n = 1,247,677,915) has more than 3.2 billion digits!

Regrettably, Harry Smith who did much early work on the subject has now passed away. --PureFox (talk) 18:49, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
