The following is an essentially unedited copy of Superseeker's reply to a recent submission from a crystallographer in Switzerland.

The following is Superseeker's response.
Report on [ 1,10,36,91,190,351]: Many tests are carried out, but only potentially useful information (if any) is reported here. TEST: IS THE NTH TERM A POLYNOMIAL IN N? SUCCESS: nth term is nontrivial polynomial in n of degree 4 Polynomial is: 1+15/4*n+31/8*n^2+5/4*n^3+1/8*n^4 Even though there are a large number of sequences in the OEIS, at least one of yours is not there! If it is of general interest, please submit it using the submission form http://oeis.org/Submit.html and it will (probably) be added! Thanks! TRY "RATE", CHRISTIAN KRATTHENTALER'S MATHEMATICA PROGRAM FOR GUESSING A CLOSED FORM FOR A SEQUENCE. ("Rate" is "Guess" in German. For a description of RATE, see http://radon.mat.univie.ac.at/People/kratt/rate/rate.html) RATE found the following formula for the nth term: Warning: as with all these guessing programs, this is only a suggestion! (n*(3 + n)*(-2 + 3*n + n^2))/8 TEST: APPLY VARIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS TO SEQUENCE AND LOOK IT UP IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AGAIN SUCCESS (limited to 40 matches): Transformation T050 gave a match with: %I A021247 %S A021247 0,0,4,1,1,5,2,2,6,3,3,7,4,4,8,5,5,9,6,7,0,7,8,1,8,9,3,0,0,4,1,1,5, %T A021247 2,2,6,3,3,7,4,4,8,5,5,9,6,7,0,7,8,1,8,9,3,0,0,4,1,1,5,2,2,6,3,3,7, %U A021247 4,4,8,5,5,9,6,7,0,7,8,1,8,9,3,0,0,4,1,1,5,2,2,6,3,3,7,4,4,8,5,5,9 %N A021247 Decimal expansion of 1/243. %K A021247 nonn,cons %O A021247 0,3 %A A021247 N.
