| Jun 11, 2011 at 7:58 | comment | added | gowers | Actually, I've just looked it up (though your second link takes me to the same page as the first) and I see that the answer is that even "unnatural" sequences such as those obtained by reading a triangle along its rows are included in OEIS, and that subsequences are recognised too. That makes it a more useful resource than I had realized. | |
