[seqfan] Re: A new sequence in Dutch magazine "Pythagoras"

[Jon Schoenfield]

The following Magma code gives the same set of terms as those listed for Pim 
Spelier's sequence on p. 20 of Pythagoras:

a:=[];
for n in [1..26] do
   k:=n^2;
   count:=0;
   while k gt 0 do
      count+:=1;
      k-:=Ceiling(k/n);
   end while;
   a[n]:=count;
end for;
a;
