A set of postive integers is called [i]fragrant[/i] if it contains at least two elements and each of its elements has a prime factor in common with at least one of the other elements. Let $P(n)=n^2+n+1$. What is the least possible positive integer value of $b$ such that there exists a non-negative integer $a$ for which the set \[\{P(a+1),P(a+2),\ldots,P(a+b)\}\] is fragrant?
