[math-fun] 1 spiral + 10 diagonals = 1 sequence
Hello Math-Fun (this is an attempt to send a message to the mailing list via my new gmail address I've subscribed in order to avoid warning messages that people sometimes get from me; the hereunder message will be more readableif you click this link: http://cinquantesignes.blogspot.com/2020/07/1-spiral-10-diagonals-1-sequence... )
Pick any digit zero and start a clockwise spiral on this infinite square lattice (streaked by the same succession of ten different diagonals, one digit per square); the resulting sequence *S* is the lexicographically earliest of distinct positive terms:

Any other order of the ten diagonals will not produce a lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive terms (I guess). Best, É.
