%N Consider the standard game of Nim with 3 heaps and make a list of the losing positions (x,y,z) with x <= y <= z sorted by sum, ties broken by putting smallest value of x first, then y, then z; sequence gives z values.
%C Thanks to _Ray Chandler_ for help in clarifying the relation between this sorted list and the one in A080595.
%e The triples with sum <= 20 (this sequence is the third
%e column) are:
%e 0 0 0
%e 0 1 1
%e 0 2 2
%e 0 3 3
%e 1 2 3
%e 0 4 4
%e 0 5 5
%e 1 4 5
%e 0 6 6
%e 2 4 6
%e 0 7 7
%e 1 6 7
%e 2 5 7
%e 3 4 7
%e 3 5 6
%e 0 8 8
%e 0 9 9
%e 1 8 9
%e 0 10 10
%Y A119464, A119465 give the x and y values; A080593, A080594, A080595 give the same values sorted in a different way.
