A186385 Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) after g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f(i)=5i and g(j)=j(j+1)/2 (triangular number). Complement of A186386.

First, write .....5...10..15..20..25..30.. (5*i) 1..3..6..10..15....21..28.. (triangular) Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking 5*i after the triangular: a=(3,6,8,9,11,13,14,16,18,..)=A186385 b=(1,2,4,5,7,10,12,15,17,...)=A186386.
