Problem 845
This question does not appear to make sense in its current form. It talks of D(n) being the nth largest positive integer with a certain property, however there are obviously infinitely many such integers. Perhaps it should be the nth smallest such integer?

Yes it should be n-th smallest, not n-th largest. From number of solvers, seems like most people naturally guessed the correct statement, but I think it should be fixed nonetheless.
