%N Differences between the Gullwing sequence A187220 and A147562 (Ulam-Warburton cellular automaton).

%C Apparently the Gullwing sequence A187220 is the connection between the Ulam-Warburton C. A. (A147562) and the toothpick sequence A139250.

%C Note that the more complex structure is A187220, followed by A139250 and then A147562.

%C For another version with minimal differences but asynchronous see A187223.
