Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Curvatures in diagram constructed by inscribing 2 circles of curvature 2 inside circle of curvature -1, continuing indefinitely to inscribe circles wherever possible.
%C The sequence seems to follow a pattern where differences between consecutive terms are 3,1,3,5,3,1,3,5,..., which would give A218155. However, some curvatures (starting with 78, listed in A042945) are in that sequence, but missing from the circle diagram.
