%N a(n) is the least number k such that the equation iphi(x) = k has exactly 2*n solutions, or -1 if no such k exists, where iphi is the infinitary totient function A091732.

%C a(n) is the least number k such that A362485(k) = 2*n. Odd values of A362485 are impossible.

%C Is there any n for which a(n) = -1?
