A186354 Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) before g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f(i)=3i and g(j)=j(j+1)/2 (triangular number). Complement of A186355.

%e A186354 First, write
%e A186354 ...3..6..9....12..15..18..21..24.. (3*i)
%e A186354 1..3..6....10.....15......21.... (triangular)
%e A186354 Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking 3i before the triangular:
%e A186354 a=(2,4,6,8,9,11,12,14,15,17,....)=A186354
%e A186354 b=(1,3,5,7,10,13,16,20,24,28,...)=A186355.
