## AI overview

An informal survey of whimsical OEIS sequences, including sequences inspired by XKCD, non-reduced fractions, hexadecimal patterns, James Bond primes, random tables, and references to the number 666.

## Source excerpt

Here are some more whimsical OEIS sequences I came across. XKCD 2016 joked that "OEIS keeps rejecting my submissions," including one that gives "Integers in increasing order of width when printed in Helvetica." Well, two days after that comic was published (2018-07-09), Hugo Pfoertner published A316600, with a very precise definition. Then he did Arial. Randall Munroe missed a huge opportunity to commit to his bit and actually try to submit some of his sequences before publishing the comic.
