%C A070435 Occurs in Mariotte reference, pp. 511-512. Consider waterjets of heights 0,5,10, ... = A008587 up to 100 pieds (feet). a(n) is the difference in pouces (inches) between tank's heights (in feet and inches) and part in feet (0,5,10,15,21,..). Row with 0's is implicit. - _Paul Curtz_, Nov 18 2008
%C A070435 a(m*n) = a(m)*a(n) mod 12; a(6*n+k) = a(6*n-k) for k <= 6*n. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 24 2009
