Variation (2) on Recaman's sequence (A005132): to get a(n), we first try to subtract n from a(n-1): a(n) = a(n-1)-n if positive and not already in the sequence; if not then a(n) = a(n-1)+n+i, where i >= 0 is the smallest number such that a(n-1)+n+i has not already appeared.
1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 13, 20, 12, 21, 11, 22, 10, 23, 9, 24, 8, 25, 43, 62, 42, 63, 41, 18, 44, 19
