a puzzling sequence

[David Wilson]

I'm guessing a panicky high-school student entered several homework problems 
into a single sequence using his mom's e-mail address.

My guess as to the original problems:

98,72,77,49,54,20 (Alternately multiply digits and add 5).

10,1,11,2,13,4,17,8,25,7 (Alternately add digits and add last two terms).

1,2,2,6,3,12,4,20,5 (Interleave positive integers and pronics).

15,20,13,18,11 (Alternately add 5 and subtract 7).

0,0,4,9,8,18,12,27 (Interleave nonnegative multiples of 4 and 9).

I just submitted the following sequence.

I am pretty absolutely sure that I am right about the recursion in the 
F-line. But I am not absolutely absolutely sure I am correct.

Did I make a mistake? (Sorry for the dumb question. But I thought I 
better double-check with seq.fan, since EIS entries are suppose to be 
totally accurate.)

Thanks,
Leroy Quet




Divid,  that's exactly what I concluded after seeing
the earlier comments on this sequence, and it's
already been updated accordingly (and the more
interesting rows have been
added as new entries)
