%N Three times second hexagonal numbers: 3*n*(2*n+1).

%C Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 9, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized pentagonal numbers A001318. Semi-axis opposite to A094159 in the same spiral.

%C Sum of the numbers from 2*n to 4*n. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Nov 27 2015

%C From _Peter M. Chema_, Jan 21 2017: (Start)

%C Also 0 together with the partial sums of A017629.

%C Digit root is 0 together with period 3: repeat [9,3,9].

%C Final digits cycle a length period 10: repeat [0,9,0,3,8,5,4,5,8,3]. (End)

%C Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 9, ..., in the triangle spiral. - _Hans G. Oberlack_, Dec 08 2018
