[seqfan] Re: more strangeness (A000079 "Powers of 2" and many others)

[Joerg Arndt]

... no answer at all on this one.

Just edited approx 27 seqs, including
hopefully all with the keyword 'core'
and definitely all mentioned below
(will do more later).

I dearly hope that further submissions by this
gentleman are met with profound skepticism.

One thing struck me while editing:
there seems to be an inofficial contest
to produce the most awful code to compute
such seqs as '2n+1', '3n', 'n^2+1' etc.
(this is not by Vincenzo but mostly by
one other individual).
