EXAMPLE

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 02 2010: (Start)

Given the following multiplication table: top row = "not multiples of 3"

left column = powers of 3; we get:

...

.1...2...4...5...7...8...10...11...13...

.3...6..12..15..21..24...30...33...39...

.9..18..36..45..63..72...90...99..114...

27..54.108..............................

81......................................

... If rows are labeled (1, 2, 3,...) then odd indexed rows are in the set; but

evens not. Examples: 9 is in the set since 3 is not, but 27 in row 4 can't be. (End)
