[ Editor: the one proposed answer and the proposer's reply: ]

Number n ist the product of the first (n-th Fibo) primes.

-- Christoph Enzinger <leo@biber.cosy.sbg.ac.at>

incorrect.  the second term, 3, is not a typo.

your series starts 2 2 6 30 2310 9699690, not 2 3 6 30 2310 9699690.

i will, however, tell you that the two series are identical, if you
disregard the second term.
