In A022937 which is Douglas Hofstadter's Figure/Space style sequence
starting from 5, I think there may be a value missing from the samples
shown.  It has

    1091, 1141, 1244, 1298, 1353,
        +50   +103  +54   +55

which I think is missing 1192

                insert
                v
    1091, 1141, 1192, 1244, 1298, 1353
        +50   +51   +52   +54   +55

Difference +53 is excluded because 53 occurs earlier in the sequence.
Does that sound right?  If I'm not mistaken the first differences are
supposed to be increasing, so +103 followed by +54 would not be right.
