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.

			Starting with s = (1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, ...) we form a shifted partial sum array:
(row 1) = (1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2,2,...)
(row 2) = (s(1)+s(2), s(2)+s(3), s(3)+s(4), ...) = (3,4,3,2,3,3,3,4,...) = A333229
(row 3) = (s(1)+s(2)+s(3), s(2)+s(3)+s(4), s(3)+s(4)+s(5), ...) = (5,5,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,...)
The number of distinct numbers in (row 3) is 2, so a(3) = 2.
The first 12 rows of the shifted partial sum array: (1, 2), (2, 3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6, 7), (6, 7, 8, 9), (8, 9, 10), (9, 10, 11, 12), (11, 12, 13), (13, 14), (14, 15, 16), (15, 16, 17, 18), (17, 18, 19). These rows illustrate that fact that the integers in each row are consecutive.
