Comments

A171746 gives number of iterations to reach a square. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 14 2010

From Carmine Suriano, Oct 15 2010: (Start)

Also the sequence of integers left after performing the following procedure:

1. Remove the element at 1st position (1) and compact the sequence;

2. Remove the element at 4th (2^2-th) position (5) and compact the sequence;

3. Remove the element at 9th (3^2-th) position (11) and compact the sequence;

....

n. Remove the element at (n-square)th position (n^2 + n - 1) and compact the sequence;

(End)
