Highly totient numbers: each number k on this list has more solutions to the equation phi(x) = k than any preceding k (where phi is Euler's totient function, A000010).

COMMENTS
If you inspect PhiAnsYldList after running the Mathematica program below, the zeros with even-numbered indices should correspond to the nontotients (A005277).

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 8 since phi(x) = 8 has the solutions {15, 16, 20, 24, 30}, one more solution than a(3) = 4 for which phi(x) = 4 has solutions {5, 8, 10, 12}.
