A033953 Write 0,1,2,... in a clockwise spiral on a square lattice, writing each digit at a separate lattice point, starting with 0 at the origin and 1 at x=0, y=-1; sequence gives the numbers on the positive x-axis.

0, 7, 1, 7, 4, 2, 8, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 6, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 6, 8, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 8, 0, 6, 1, 7, 0, 9, 2, 8, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 7, 2, 6, 2, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 3, 2, 2, 0, 4, 3, 2, 5, 4, 6, 5, 0, 5, 1, 1, 6, 5, 8, 1, 2, 6, 7, 3, 8, 7, 8, 9, 5, 7, 1, 8, 2, 8, 6, 1, 9, 9, 3, 6, 7, 9, 0, 1, 4, 6, 1, 0

We begin with the 0 and wrap the numbers 1 2 3 4 ... around it. Then the sequence is obtained by reading rightwards, starting from the initial 0. - _Andrew Woods_, May 20 2012
