David,

I've kinda wondered about having sequences (12 at present) that are 
simultaneously "dumb" and "more" ... ?:-|

Not anymore, anyway!  :-)  (Last August, I searched for "keyword:hard 
keyword:easy" and got 3 hits (A093397, A093398, and A117103).  I emailed 
Neil to ask about them, and he agreed those two keywords were incompatible. 
I checked those sequences again just now, and they no longer show either of 
those keywords.  (And only one shows keyword "more":  the only one of the 
three that has more than half a line of terms ... hmmm ....)

Thanks for writing!
