%N Sequence obtained by reading the triangles shown below by rows.

%C It appears that this is also a triangle read by rows in which row n lists the first A000217(n) positive integers, n >= 1 (see example, second part). - _Omar E. Pol_, May 29 2012

%e Written as an irregular triangle the sequence begins:

%e 1;

%e 1, 2, 3;

%e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;

%e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10;

%e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15;

%e Row n has length A000217(n). (End)
