It might be interesting to know the statistics of leading digits of math-based sequences on OEIS. Maybe only a negligible fraction could be called non-math-based. But it might be good to exclude certain types of sequences, such as the decimal digits of a constant. And it might be also good to exclude low enough numbers, due to the high frequency of very low numbers. But I'm not sure what would be a best way to go about this. It may well turn out that were such a count performed, the fractions of 1,...,9 would be so close to equal that a reasonable hypothesis is that they're equally distributed. Opinions? --Dan << You can type stuff in the search box on oeis.org and it tells you how many "results found." But you cannot ask it to count the number of "*" (or +, -, /, ^, !) in its programs and formulas, at least not easily... thing #results found --------------------------------- 1 201449 2 177941 0 165928 3 155105 4 132137 5 116309 6 102769 7 91779 8 83837 9 76325 . . . . . .
