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.

A386909 Iterates of g(x), starting at x = 0 until g(x) == 2 (mod 3), where g(x) = (5*x + 18)/3 if x == 0 (mod 3) and g(x) = (5*x + 22)/3 if x == 1 (mod 3).
