[seqfan] Re: Is this sequence a permutation of positive integers?

I don't know ... I like this variation, and it's not *identical *to the
sequence Sean Irvine mentions. (It first parts company from A006509 at
A(30) = 57 rather than 275.)

There are two *other* variations on A006509 in OEIS, at least one of which
matches A006509 for longer than this sequence does. And this sequence
always consists of distinct entries, raising the occurrence question Ali
Sada asks.

Sean, were you suggesting it is too similar for inclusion? Or just pointing
out the similarity?
