COMMENTS
The existence of runs of 6 or 7 numbers with the same property is an open question; a run of length 8 is impossible. - Andrey Zabolotskiy, Nov 07 2016
Numbers n such that each of the five consecutive integers k in n..n+4 has A162642(k)<2. - Jason Kimberley, Aug 27 2017
There is no n in this sequence below 10^10000 such that n+1 is also in this sequence. In other words, no n below 10^10000 such that each of the six consecutive integers n..n+5 has squarefree rank less than two. - Roger Eggleton and Jason Kimberley, Sep 02 2017
