[seqfan] Re: nearly equal floor(n/Pi) A032615 and A062300

[israel at math.ubc.ca]

since 1/sin(1/n/Pi)) ~ n/Pi + Pi/(6*n) as n -> infinity, and frac(n/Pi) is 
equidistributed in [0,1), the probability that their floors differ is 
approximately Pi/(6*n). Since the sum of that diverges, albeit slowly, we 
should expect infinitely many differences.
