A number $n$ is called insipid if the groups having a core-free maximal subgroup of index $n$ are exactly $A_n$ and $S_n$. There is an OEIS enter for these numbers: A102842. There are exactly $486$ insipid numbers less than $1000$.



Question: Are there infinitely many insipid numbers?



Let $iota(r)$ be the number of insipid numbers less than $r$. The following plot (from OEIS) leads to:



Bonus question: Is it true that $lim_r to inftyr/iota(r)=2$?

          Almost all $n$ are insipid. In fact, the number of non-insipid numbers at most $n$ grows like $2n/log n$.
