%N Even atomic numbers in the Janet table of the PSE, read right to left along rows.

%C In the Janet arrangement, the elements appear in groups of twice 2, twice 8,... twice 2*k^2, and are here right-aligned:

%C ...............................1,.2;

%C ...............................3,.4;

%C .............5,.6,.7,.8,.9,10,11,12;

%C ............13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20;

%C ...28,39.30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38;

%C The even numbers in the table are read top-down, right-to-left and entered into the sequence (which, in consequence, is a permutation of the even numbers.)
