cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

A292152 Triangle T(m,k) read by rows, where T(m,k) is the number of ways in which 1<=k<=m positions can be picked in an m X m square grid such that the picked positions don't have any symmetry.

The following configuration of 6 picked points from a 7X7 grid is one of the T(7,6)=a(28)=13903624 configurations without symmetry. It is of some historical interest, because when it was drawn in Germany's "Lotto 6 aus 49", there was only one person with a winning bet receiving a payout of 22 million DM (Deutsche Mark).
