:: My original draft (from 2016) didn't have as many "big integers" for stress testing, but it did have a much prettier (HTML <big> <nowiki> <math></nowiki></big>) formulas: '''floor''' and '''square root''' symbols, for two. I had copies the use of the '''floor''' from a Wikipedia site, but Rosetta Code didn't render it properly (lots of big red error messages). It took me a while to get those symbols to display properly without crashing something in Rosetta Code. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:06, 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)
talk about a very delayed déjà vu
It wasn't after I backed up (archived) my juggler REXX program for this (draft) task (to my archive/backup hard drive) that I discovered a copy of my (draft) task for the this sequence (I had put it aside for some reason, and then forgot about it). The old draft was created in March, 2016. Oh well. Not the first time, and it won't be the last, either. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:54, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
