About 11 years old · traced to

Let a2r−1a_{2r-1} and brb_r be the integers occurring in the divisibility assertion for Sn(r)S_n^{(r)}. Guo and Liu's explicit constants conjecture. The listed values

a3=3, a5=15, a7=21, a9=15, a11=33, a13=1365, a15=3,a_3=3,\ a_5=15,\ a_7=21,\ a_9=15,\ a_{11}=33,\ a_{13}=1365,\ a_{15}=3, b2=12, b3=4, b4=60, b5=20, b6=84, b7=28, b8=60, b9=20b_2=12,\ b_3=4,\ b_4=60,\ b_5=20,\ b_6=84,\ b_7=28,\ b_8=60,\ b_9=20

satisfy the preceding existence conjecture. The paper proves the underlying existence statement, but the supplied excerpt does not state whether every displayed proposed value is separately established; this row records the conjecture as presented.
