FORMULA

Using "Moessner's Magic" (Conway and Guy, pp. 63-64; cf. A125714), we circle the 1, 3, 6, 10, ...(-th) terms in the sequence (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) and take partial sums of the remaining terms, making row 2. Circle the terms in row 2 one place offset to the left of row 1 terms, then take partial sums. Continue with analogous operations for succeeding rows. The triangle = leftmost circled terms in each row.

EXAMPLE

Circling the 1, 3, 6, ...(-th) terms in the sequence (1, 3, 5, 7, ...), we get A018387: (1, 5, 11, 19, 29, ...). Taking partial sums of the remaining terms, we get (3, 10, 19, 32, ...) in row 2 and we circle 3 and 19. In row 3 we circle the 10.

First few rows of the triangle are:

3, 5;

10, 19, 11;

42, 89, 64, 19;

216, 498, 415, 160, 29;

...
