A033989 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 negative x-axis.

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