corrected sequence A071761

[Alonso Del Arte]

I think it would be better for this sequence's name field to give an
awkward description (from a literature viewpoint) that is
mathematically correct and explicit, or if that's too awkward, how
about "Bulgarian solitaire sequence"? Because as it stands right now
the pattern is not self-evident to me either. I also wonder if this
sequence should have the base keyword on it.

P.S. What does a BASIC prt statement do?
