COMMENTS
Frobenius number of a numerical semigroup generated by relatively prime integers a_1,...,a_n is the largest positive integer that is not a nonnegative linear combination of a_1,...,a_n. Since three consecutive pyramidal numbers are relatively prime, they generate a numerical semigroup with a Frobenius number.

EXAMPLE
a(2)=51 because 51 is not a nonnegative linear combination of 5, 14 and 30, but all integers greater than 51 are.
