[seqfan] Re: Simple seq with 3 in 4

[Alex M]

Simplest formula I could get: a(3n)=n-1; a(3n+1)=n+1; a(3n+2)=n+3. Or,
a(n)=1+a(n-3).

~6 out of 5 statisticians say that the number of statistics that either make
no sense or use ridiculous timescales at all has dropped over 164% in the
last 5.62474396842 years.
