[seqfan] Re: [math-fun] Mathematical hell, sequence and the sequence A007699

[David Wilson]

This is interesting, because A117853 are the leading digits of a decimal 
expansion of a very large integer
(having 9152052 digits). If we are numbering the digits according to 
their place (exponent of 10), the
first digit should be indexed 9152051, the last 0, and the index 
decreasing. When did we start allowing
decreasing indexes in the OEIS (not that I disapprove)?
