Sum three terms & digits

[Eric Angelini]

Hello Alex,

Yes, you are right:

- seq S is monotonically increasing
- S starts with 1,2,3 (or 0,1,2)
- the next term you want to add to S must be the smallest
  one not infringing the rule

I think this defines better S.

Best,
É.

Eric,

It is not clear how the sequence is defined.
Say, why it starts as 1,2,3,... and not as 1,2,1,... or as 1,2,2,... ?
Can you give a precise definition of this sequence?
