1 is the loneliest number...

The OEIS thinks the sequence starts at 1. Obviously the task as originally specified draws from a source that thinks you should skip the 1, perhaps by analogy with prime numbers, which might or might not be construed as a false analogy, since the sequence contains other non-primes like 25, and since this sieve is based on position, not on value, as primes are. I like it with the 1, and marked the Python entry as incorrect somewhat tongue-in-cheekly, but I think we can agree that we oughta agree on definition one way or the other before this becomes a real task. :-) --TimToady (talk) 21:41, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
