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.

A131956 Busy Beaver variation: maximum number of steps for a 2-state, 2-symbol Turing machine running on a tape which is initialized with the number n in binary and 0's everywhere else. The machine is started at the rightmost bit in the number n.
