“…Mullin [21] determined a first Wilson basis for the set N 1,6 = B({7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43, 55, 61, 67, 73, 79, 97, 103, 109, 115, 121, 127, 139, 145, 157, 163, 181, 1 modulo 42 1 7 13 19 25 31 37 Largest exception 2605 1645 14293 82549 98683 91507 88447 193, 199, 205, 211, 223, 229, 235, 241, 253, 265, 271, 277, 283, 289, 295, 307, 313, 319, 331, 349, 355, 361, 367, 373, 379, 391, 397, 409, 415, 421, 439, 445, 451, 457, 487, 493, 499, 643, 649, 655, 661, 667, 685, 691, 697, 709, 727, 733, 739, 745, 751, 781, 787, 811, 1063, 1069, 1231, 1237, 1243, 1249, 1255, 1315, 1321, 1327, 1543, 1549, 1567, 1579 1585, 1783, 1789, 1795, 1801, 1819, 1831}). Independently, Du [14] and Greig [17] removed the elements 223, 253,295,307,361,367,379,421,439,655,727,1231,1237,1243,1249,1255,1543,1549,1585,1783,1789,1795,1801,1819, and 1831 from the finite basis for N 1,6 . We will improve this result in Section 4 by showing that 4 further values 1063, 1069, 1567, and 1579 are not essential.…”
