This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

%F A078221 a(n) = 10^(2^(n-3)) - 1 for n >= 3. (Proof by induction. Consider a(n)*f, L = ceiling(log(f)/log(10)), g1 = number formed by the first L digits of a(n)*f, g2 = number formed by the last L digits of a(n)*f => g1 + g2 = number formed by L 9's, if L <= 10^(2^(n-2)) + 1). - _Sascha Kurz_, Jan 04 2003
